London Tri - Transition Access / Bike Racking Times
Hi. Does anyone know what time transition will be open on the saturday for sunday pm racers to rack their bikes? Will it be open at all on the sunday (there seems to be a good gap between the last morning race and the first afternoon race)? I'm travelling from abroad and will only get to London about 7pm on saturday evening so I'm worried transition will be closed at that stage and I won't be allowed rack on the sunday as it will be too busy with races already started. I've mailed the organisers and got a standard response indicating that it could be a week before they can reply. I telephoned them also but the guy I spoke to wasn't too sure. Any help appreciated.

I too am racing Sunday afternoon at London and was wondering this. I received the welcome pack and although it says that bikes should be racked on Saturday, it doesnt specify times.
Looking at the event map / layout - there is a separate transition area for Sunday afternoon competitiors so i'm going to rock up on Sunday morning to rack as I wont be getting in anyones way.
To be honest I wouldn't have registered for the event had I known that I would have to drive in to central london twice in two days...(no bikes on the DLR / tube etc)
If they don't let me race (even after the 'i'm doing it for charidee' sob story!), i'll sack it and go on the beers! That way I can't lose either way!

The last race on Saturday is at 5pm and I expect to arrive at the race site at around 6.30ish so I assume that the venue will still be open. Think I'll chance driving straigh to the venue from the ferry and hope I get there before it shuts. Its worth a try if it gets me an extra few hours in bed on sunday.
My missus starts at 5pm and won't finish until 7pm, so probably 7.30 before she recovers her bike. I'm sureyou'll be good for 6.30
Two other unrelated questions: does anyone carry a puncture repair when doing the cycle? and does anyone eat mid race?
cheers
