Anyone entering? I am going to go for the august one I think, sounds like good fun. There was some pro's last year I think.
Would be a good place to have a load of PH riders?

Read the pdf's last paragraph. There will be some traffic.

He asked a question. The correct answer was (and still is) No. (The road is not closed) Would you like me to have sugar coated it for your sensibilites?

The road is closed to public traffic but there maybe resident and delivery vehicles in the park as this event takes place before 7am, when the gates open.
That's not difficult to write is it. 'No' doesn't really cover it does it, as for the smart arse comment, I wouldn't have bothered it isn't even for me so do't get on your high horse.

So did anyone else sign up for this in the end? Got my entry confirmation through yesterday and starting to feel a little nervous!Anyone entering? I am going to go for the august one I think, sounds like good fun. There was some pro's last year I think.

I've been given the 4th from last start time - does that mean they are expecting me to be slow? Anyone got any good tips for a first time TTer?
I can't do it sadly, going out for a mates birthday the night before which I expect to get messy!
I can't offer and tips, the only TT I've done was 45 miles so tactically totally different. However for that course I'd say go easy ish up to Richmond gate, go as fast as you can down to kingston (its downhill mostly) and from there I guess just open the taps to the max or at least what you can maintain for the back half.
I will probably do the course sometime one morning to see what I could do it in.
