Cycle to Henley To watch the Challenge Race?

Hi All,

 

On sunday the 18th September Jon Hotkiss will be competiting in the Challenge Henley Iron-Distance Triathlon.  

 

After all the great coaching Jon has given to Windrush this year I think it would be a great idea to support him (without adding any pressure) in his quest to win the race.

 

Henley approx 35 miles from Brockwell Lido - meaning a 2 hour cycle. The races starts at 6.30am so we'd never make it across for the swim but for the cycle and run legs for sure.

 

Who would be interested in coming along and of course wear full windrush kit (laura will love this) then post below.  If there is demand we can organise a couple of cycle groups depending on pace.


Alex

Thanks Alex

 

I've already been planning a ride out to Windsor and back via Henley

Taking on Coombe Hill - the highest summit in the chilterns

 

Anyone not wanting take on the hill can skip direct to henley and help set up the Windrush Cheer Corner

The challenge course looks fairly complicated - ive not got any good ideas on where best to place ourselfs.

Somewhere on the Run near the finish will let us get a good ride in first before they turnup

 

This is my suggested route, Out via hampton court along the olympic road race course

Hotkiss???  Is there something you're not telling us Alex? ;-)

 

Providing I can wangle it into a longer ride (It's two weeks out from Challenge Barcelona), I'm in.

Alex, as Paul said, you read our minds! We will try and get there to cheer on the run section at least. Paul is planning a route, and hopefully we can get Ride coordinators Tony and Claire involved too. Options to catch a train back could be investigated, and we should try and eat there I reckon. There is always tonnes of stuff at these events.

YES to kit, hopefully we can ride off the back of Jon 'Hotkiss'fame for some free promo.....

Great shout - keen.

If it wasn't for the Reading tri I'd cycle to Tenby to support those competing in Ironman Wales too...

Hi Guys, 

Has there been a plan pinned down for the cycle to Henley on sunday to watch the IM?  I dont want to step on anyones toes and plan a route if one is already done.

 

i am not keen to cycle 300km and then watch the race, but see this as very much a relaxed day out....

I think we need to check if Jon is still racing as he was thinking about pulling out.  I'll send him a txt and see.  

I'm in my 'off' couple of weeks so also not up for anything super long-winded.

As long as the weather isn't atrocious & Jon's racing, count me in.
