Anyone got an update?
Dont want to enter and then it get pulled.
Any more in the local press?
Anyone else planning to follow Fink for this one? Only about a month to go before it starts.
Which warm races have others entered? I'm planning to enter Marlow HIM and an Olympic at Grafham Water.
I'll be following Fink. Is it only a month before it has to start? Oh heck.
I'll be Finking (intermediate) but will add more bike and a little less run I think. Will be posting here as I go. Finkettes be ready for Monday 11th February.
Events wise I've booked two sportives and two HIM's (I'm skipping the Olympic as I don't really see me gaining much from that)
Will be up for some recce'ing too if anyone else is - nearer the time and once they've sorted out this bleedin' bike route!
Oh sweet bejesus. The debate still rages:

Though from what I can gather, the town council don't actually have much of a say in the matter. It's the district council that call the shots with road closures.
With so much oppossition form the villages how many will come out to support the cyclists going past..
At IMW the villages have parties and are out cheering the cyclist on
Maybe because they know the economy needs it.....maybe henley area is just too rich with commuters that the economy doesn't need it
Yes, I'm not expecting much support along the route.
At the moment we've got to be content with not getting pelted with quails egg's (with rosemary, sea salt and pepper dip) along the way!
@Seren - I wouldn't be so sure. You only ever hear from the vocal minority. There will be many more who are supportive/indifferent.
Even I cycled in to Henley to support last year. I did take my own sandwiches though...
^^^ Teddy Bear woman will have your guts for garters Cat
She will!
Actually, we all ate at Wetherspoons and had numerous coffees from Starbucks. So atleast some of that spend went in to the local economy!
But did you buy a teddy bear?
