OK, executive decision then, let’s go for the 18th ! Here’s a rough plan, feel free to disagree
The Ball Bruiser
- Duathlon – 1 x run lap, 3 x ride lap, 1 x ride lap.
- Clockwise laps. Run lap is 7.35 miles, map here http://www.richmondparklondon.co.uk/running
- MTB or road bike/course, your choice, but the path is shared bike/pedestrian path with pedestrian priority.
- Start/Finish at Pembroke Lodge, between Richmond and Ham Gates http://www.pembroke-lodge.co.uk/images/map.gif
- Relay and/or part distance gaylords welcome
Facilities at transition
- Free car parking, toilets, outdoor café and posh indoor café
- Ditchy’s cakes
- Fresh venison roadkill
- Official Pirate Aid Station Sherpas/bike guardians/cake dispensers, as featured at The Outlaw
- A couple of discrete Pirate flags – who’s got them ?
The Green Man at Putney Heath is good, most of the others closer to the park are a bit poncy for a bunch of sweaty aferletes http://www.greenmanputney.co.uk/
Starters
Kanga

Ditchy I think

Will need to juggle family, but maybe they could go to the playground for the 2 hours it will take me!
Any executive decisions on a start time. Will prob need to be antisocially early to finish pre lunch?
8.30am start?
Start time, knew I forgot something!
I reckon on a good day, with a bloody good tailwind and jet propulsion, I could get around in about 3:30, so more likely 4:00 given transition and the usual casual training approach. An 08:30 start would have us at the pub about 13:00 for lunch, so maybe an 0800 start for the very few peeps who might be slower than me ? Earlier the better for car parking as well.
Yes in terms of always turning left at the roundabouts, but went with clockwise so we're leaving/joining the traffic without having to turn across it. Health and safety and all that carp. Also means we go up the short nasty bitHard Core Aferletes, Innit ?

we have to cycle 40 mins to get to a train station in central london, then 30 mins to richmond..... then bike to rihmond park...
I don't fancy leaving the house at 6 in the morning..
how about a 9 ish start
Looks good for me at the moment, subject to work screwing the pooch at the last minute.
Is it decided on a road bike or MTB yet.
Anytime from 9am onwards would suit TBH
FF - My MTB is complete and ancient crap, much like it's rider, so I'll be on the roadie. Suspect most people will be, we can always do an MTB version in Jan/Feb when all the bling bikes are tucked away in cotton wool until the summer ?
I quite fancy this but have no idea how to get there from Maidstone...
anyone got any idea...do I have to drive or can I do public transport???
Thanks - I'll probably drive then.
I'll speak to Tommygun....
Just moving myself from the lurkers list, seeing as Mrs J is going out in the evening on the 18th and leaving me to celebrate a b'day by myself I might as well come out for some exercise to work up a thirst!
