Alternatively, is any kind soul driving from this area or past Richmond station on Sunday morning?
Thanks
Russ
I can help out on the lift front - but only from Teddington!
Queens Rd was closed today but possible to get into Kingston Gate by going down Crescent Rd.
I can give you a lift if you want. I live just off the Askew Road and am planning to drive.

It involves getting the last night bus from outside my house at 5:15, staying on untilTottenham Court Road, changing onto a number 14 to Putney Bridge at about 6am, then changing onto the number 85 sometime around 7am, hopefully then making it in time for the 7:30 arrival target...
Early night on Saturday, I think.
Or anyone else for that matter.

and let me know what time you will be at clapham jctn. You need to be there by 7.15 latest.

That would be great.
Suffering from a bit of tendinitis at the moment, so not training for the next couple of days. I am still hoping to make Sunday though.
Can you give me a ring on 07989 304274 or e-mail me at russell@dixon-box.freeserve.co.uk and I'll call you so we can arrange where is good for you to meet up.
Thanks

You'll be able to lock the bike to a fence or a tree, of course, and there'll probably be some organisers in the Car Park throughout the Run - I believe that they're putting on a drinks station.
It will be very cold Sunday am. suggest a hat and gloves to start the event. after 1 lap they can be discarded at the start point. Please pick them up when you finish....
The distance per lap is 7.25 miles so its 14.5 total.
We will start at 8am.
Cars will be boxed in (as they have been ever year) It works remarkably well.
Water is available at each set of loos in the corners of the park. There will be water at the Start as well loos which were delivered today in the snow.
Fastest pace group(7min/mile) will go first. followed by the next group 30 seconds later.
Try and get there in good time, do a gentle warm up and be ready to go at 8am. Lock all unwanted clothes in your car. (Dont lose your keys) Human Race crew will be around around the start/finish area to watch over locked bikes.
Remember this is not a race. It's a paced run and other people will be in the Park.
Enjoy your run, its a beautiful place to train. Remember, save a bit for the killer hill at the end......!
See you Sunday ....John
Anyone driving from Streatham/Balham/Tooting/Brixton or that sort of area with space for one?
Please email me if you can help me out
I'm supposed to be going to Keith Anderson's seminar afterwards so am expected to have a change of clothes plus lunch with me. Does RW expect me to run loaded down with kit?
Is the Run staying on the main path all the way round? As you know, at Ham Gate you can EITHER
follow the gravel path up the hill to Hornbeam Walk and along the top to Richmond Gate,
OR
head straight along the bottom edge of the Park to the Petersham Gate and climb the hill there to the Richmond Gate.
The low-level route is muddy and slippery by the golf course and on the hill: it will be a filthy, dangerous mess if 1000 people run along it.
bags to be left in the Human Race vehicle as per every year.
BRM
the route takes the "yellow brick road" - the gravel path around the park. therefore stick to the path.....
John
Have a good run everyone
Furthermore, for every up there's a down: both hill-climbs are followed by nice flat bits and longish gentle downhill stretches. You should find this a pleasant, fast route in pretty surroundings.
