Marathon 2011 -alert-alert-alert-

Whatever happens between now and the day will have no influence whatsoever on any decision to allow us to ride on the route after the road closures this year. They simply will not allow it. Last time, the second group were stopped and booted off course at Cannon Street by the police due to safety issues. This instruction will already be in place and agreed at a far higher level than we will reach at this time. It's also unfair to blame Billy for posting the thread early, as this will have been discussed after last years ride.

Night ride or nothing I'm afraid.

+1. The Marathon is a world renowned event. They are not going to add any potential risk by allowing us onto closed roads, so close to the departure of the elite runners.
