Velo NORTH - Anyone in?
Discussion
it's pretty pricey, £115 for the fast track seems overly gouging!
Strava challenge code is VELOSTRAVA for £25 off until 9/6 which takes standard entry to £50 which isn't too bad.
Just a shame they all appear to be on Sundays, makes driving to other end of the country trickier so won't be doing it.

I would have loved to enter this year, it passes near my house too.
Unfortunately it is the week before the great north run so I am having a feet up easy weekend, probably be stuck in the village with road closures too.
15,000 cyclists, really that many? No one comments on their Facebook page, it doesn't seem that popular?
One gripe with their video of David Millar and Martin Johnson riding the route. They go through a village (Lanchester) following the way of the route but are seen doing the climb out of the village the wrong way, back the way they would have come. I know they probably didn't cycle the whole route and its been edited to look like it. Maybe its because the hill they are seen ascending is No. 60 in the greatest cycle climbs. Who knows!

Are they keeping it quiet? I can't see anything about it on the usual cycling websites. The organisers must have made a lot of money somewhere to be refunding people for this as well as Velosouth last year.
It's a shame really, the nimbys were so vocifereously anti-velosouth I suspect the organisers were relieved the weather forecast was so bad.

Not sure they're making a lot of money somewhere, I suspect the opposite, profit is tight not prepared to run an event at a loss initially hopeing it will grow in to profit in future years.
Didn't they stop running Velothon Cardiff because they were losing money on it??
Anyway emails to everyone who'd entered today, 3 options; refund, entry to velo brum, donate to charity.
