    I did this yesterday.

    And thanks to ILIKEFOOD for the top tube card, I found it a great help, particularly in the latter part, where there were hills, that I might otherwise have been unprepared for.


    you're welcome, I started my gps too early and I was a bit out so i was wondering if it was accurate enough for anyone else I gave it to, still, i had a fair idea of what was ahead using it


    thought it was a quality event, every part of it.

    I started my Garmin,as I crossed the start line.
    Your TT card was pretty accurate. I certainly knew what to expect and where to expect it. Thanks again.

    I was told, that there would be a way of accessing photographs on a website, whereby you could input your number and see your photos.
    Can anybody direct me?

    It took a few days last year for results and stuff to go online.

    Did anyone order extra items and not receive them on the day? I ordered a cap along with the jersey but didn't get it - my gf who collected was told that it would be posted out

    Anybody remember when registration opened for the 2016 event?

    Just trying to gauge when it will open for the 2017 event...
    Was it sold out (for 2016)?

    It opened last week for people who participated last year.

    It opens to the public soon but can't find the email to get you the exact date.
    Pretty sure 2016 didn't sell out.

    I got an email on 13th October, which said that entrants from 2016 were being given a 10 day window to register before general registration opened.
    If that is the case registration will open on Sunday or Monday.

    It's not cheap. £65 for the longer route.
    However, it's a great event. Closed roads for the entire route is just wonderful.

    Closed roads would probably make it worth the price for many. There's one on in Scotland in closed roads that I'd love to do, the Etape Royal that I baulked at the price but realise, closing roads might be costly
