Hi Folks,
There's been much banter about meeting up somewhere after the event so I thought we should have a thread dedicated to it. Now that my family have decided that 0630 is an antisocial start time (I sympathise fully) I have a free day ahead of me! (Currently; familys are prone to changes of mind I've found). So I'm keen to meet if anyone else is?

You can put you bike in the back of my car if you want which will be in my hotel about 2miles away car park.. need to take the front wheel off...obviously this isn't a long term solution or solution for the masses
Has anyone got any idea of what time we should all look to meet up? I know there is a fairly wide spread of start times (I'm either 630 or 700 not sure yet.)
I think there is a pretty big spread looking at the ages I am off at 6:30 in male 25-29 G1 - I guess that really means any time between 6:30 and 7 if they are gonna send us off in waves of 50 or so (according to swim for tri fella at the swim session last saturday)

I do know the area. Take at least 2 locks! Might even be worth you heading into town a little bit.
That said, I wish I was going. Roll on 2007.

I'm not off until 1540 - last block of the weekend, so I get the opportunity to be the very last person to finish the entire race! I'll probably fry, but somehow I can't help feeling glad that I'm not off at 0630.
p.s. was that 27c weather forecast from a genuine long term report? If so, then I really hope that good old British cold summer returns.
forcast was at little hasty (it as 14day guess which was a week early) I think as the week before now says a return to british summer (16 and cloudy)
So by the time were finished that lot will be half cut.
I'm off to L.A the next morning for a holiday. 11 hours on a plane after an oly!!!
if you dont ask ... you dont get

I'm still unsure what we should do about meeting up? Do we try and collect everyones numbers somehow and sort it on the day once we know somewhere decent to all meet up?
and from that point of view I am not sure how long I can keep my wife watching triathlon...I will open negotiations tonite and see what happens... I think she is keen to head into london for the afternoon but I have already told her I wanna watch the elite races and stuff...
have pm'd my email address...
Just wondering if anyone has figurered out how they are going to get out of London yet? My plan is to come in on Sat, stay at a friends and then cycle to the event (praying its not far, yet to check; ignorance is bliss). But I'm clueless as to how to get out of London on the day using public transport.
Any advice would be much appreciated. ( I need to get down to Redhill; Reigate; Gatwick area)
I am not sure where the nearest is but http://www.tfl.gov.uk/tfl/ will probably give you the best idea..
