PSOF Championships 2013 - Challenge Henley

Looking forward to the details of the revised course - a little off the current 1800m climbing would be nice...

Yeah, can't it be made pancake flat?

Hi All,

I have just spoken to the lovely people at Challange Henley and they are willing to offer all of us, whether we did it last year or not, the early bird discount for the Full distance. So normally it would cost £340, going up to £375 nearer the day, but we can have it for £294. To get this deal we need to enter as team "PSOF" and use the discount code "PREENT13".

Just to add, this discount is only available until October 24th and is only available for the full not the half. I am told that the cycle will be all closed roads again and that there will be a new course (faster) whcih will be announced in a week or two's time.

Finally if we want a Pirate Central feed station for supportes we can have that as well. 

Hope this helps and see you there!         

 

Two days left to use the code !

Hmmmmm.....

And sod the alphabetical order!

she's gonna kill you......

 i don't think its her list - its worse, its unofficial!!

Illicit listage. Good luck!

I see in the local news that the NT are up in arms about the proposed bike route.

Hopefully the bike route is on road ? Why would that annoy the NT ?  

Cougie, if it's on 'closed roads' could be limited access to one of their properties for the day thus reducing any 'entrance' fee they may want.  Just a thought.

I've just read about it potentially going past Greys Court here but all hype reading between the lines. 

B8gger me, I'm local and I can't work out where the new alleged route is

What's interesting about that article - apart from how stuck up most of the residents appear to be - is that the organisers do not appear to have secured the permission from the Local Authority to stage any bike course!!

Lurking - but slightly concerned that they wont be able to get bike course agreed and have to cancel.

I find it funny that the National Trust are complaining that it may affect local businesses - I presume they aren't worried about the effect on them. They are neither local nor a business (see charity status).

However Challenge may have permission to put the event on but not a defined route that is still being disucssed. Note that we didn't have planning permission for the Olympic Park when we won the Olypics. Yes a higher profile event but the park has slightly more impact than a road closure for part of one day.

But no doubt the NT will charge for entry to their place??

A valid point about the Olympics, but I'm fairly sure they were almost responsible for their own planning permission as the GLA were an ODA partner - I worked on bits on the permission and it really was a joke!

But I'd also be surprised if CH would sell places if they didn't have a least an outline permission in place. Plus we are making the mistake on believing what it says in the paper!!

Yep but they aren't local - clue is in their name.

I presume they have permission and support for the event given the extended spend in the area. The route will always upset some and is clearly still in discussion but sure they will find a route. It sounds like Challenge have already accomdated a route change requested of them.
