^ Thanks Clara that would be grand. I am not convinced that wearing a cotton t-shirt that will probably be ill-fitting will improve my safety over a 113 mile ride...
And the helmet debate thing, yeah it's been discussed ad nauseum already.
-
I don't think whatever one's stance on the helmet wearing thing anyone thinks that compulsory helmet wearing is a good thing. It's a personal choice and all the evidence shows that if you make it compulsory it puts people off cycling. It's a worrying trend.
I had a number of emails after signing up for the competition without unsubscribe links, which is actually illegal. I could have reported the organisers to the Information Commissioner. Perhaps they ought to prioritise complying with existing legislation before they start enforcing things like t-shirt and helmet wearing which are not statutory requirements.

You'd be surprised ...

Ok so the T-shirts are not going to be cotton. They are just about to go into production and I have insisted the be Bamboo. The wearing of them is not Compulsory it's just to identify you at the food stops so they don't randomly start feeding passers by. Giveto Go and 2 wheels are and Irish company and it is compulsory to wear helmets when they do the rides over there, now this is not the case in the UK and I am in talks with their insurers about whether this is the case - let me get back to you on that. I think we can all agree that closed shoes is a good idea.
I'm also raising the issue of the unsubscribe button, I am sure this is just an error, but I will confirm as soon as I can. -

Hi Clara,
As you're here, I have a quick question - is there anything I need to do before the Tour de Latitude. I'm away from home until the evening of the 10th so if there's any mail/instructions, I won't see them.
Thanks!
-
No problem - thank you!
-
Hi all, ok so the tshirts are given to you in your goodie bag and you do not have to wear them on the ride, helmets are also optional but you are covered iunder the their insurance if you wear one and not if you don't so the choice is yours. You will be given a armband which is to be worn at all times do you can be identified at the food stops and to stop randoms from joining the ride.
For those who are signed up you will get an email with all the details of the ride and extra info later today. Hope this helps.
Thanks -

ThanksHi Clara,
I haven't received any information by email. Is it possible to post some instructions up here about where to meet/what time etc so I can book trains and make sure our bikes can go.
Thank you!

You should have had all those details over a week ago. PM me you email and I'll send again - sorry!
Got them - thank you!

It was a great weekend, but I will reserve my critique on the weekend once I get my bike back....
After speaking to my brother, and said condition of his bike on its return today, I can only sit here and hope that I don't have the same result..
UPDATE : Minutes after writing this above, the doorbell went and I've just got my bike back. It's all in one piece, with a small nick in the paintwork, so happy days! No need to have worried. I wont elaborate on the state of my brother's bike,,,
