We've often talked about it, but anyone fancy doing our own dualthon event say late Nov/early Dec ? More a training blast than an event, something like the BB run/ride/run format, except ....
- We'll organise it (in the loosest possible sense, so you can't sue anyone!)
- Probably in Richmond Park (closer to home for me, easier course for the newbies)
- It'll be free
- Maybe alternating laps, just to mix it up a bit ?
- Pub lunch nearby after ?
Suspect the Royal Parks would want money and/or permits if we looked too organised, so best keep it low key and unofficial.
If we can't sort out a sherpa or two to mind the transition area I'm happy to do it. Any takers ?

I would be in for some fun in London... might have to do the bike part on one of those blue bikes though.... all more fun. Nov is a quite busy but something could be done. I'm in London visiting the 2nd weekend of nov.
Dustboy, behave yourself!
I still need my granny ring for the "hilly bits" of RP
This is getting serious, best check dates with Mrs K and start a starter's list ....
Meldy you have more balls that a lot of the male pirates out there.
I'd be interested but unfortunanlty already nearly fully booked for Nov. Going that far down south would be a tad expensive as well. But still keen if able to get there.
OK, let's start the date debate, noted other events that may clash. Put your name down if you can make the weekend, we can then pick dates on a popular weekend.

The Green Man at Putney Heath is one nearby option for food & drink, but plenty of others.
Kanga - just a thought but you have not mentioned poss distances. If you are doing hardcore stuff I will wimp out and maybe do transition. So the question is.......
What distances do you have in mind?
Schmunks
RP is around 7 miles around on the bike. There are loads of options on the running bit, up to 7 miles around....
Loos onsite, cafes, free parking, it's actually an inspired idea by Kanga, but then convicts are ever resourceful!

Depending on:
1) If the date is decided in time for me to ask for it off and
2) I can actually get the day off...
I'd be up for a bit of transition guarding D may be up for a pootle around too
sounds like a fun day out.

Where's all the eager IMR noobs looking for some winter action ? Seems to be a majority of old(ish) hands probably more interested in the beers after than the laps before.
18th seems to be shaping up as the most likely, call now before the lines close
