Les organisateurs ont simplement choisi de le faire là

Si vous m'croyez pas allez ICI

The 3rd Brompton World Championship will be held on Sunday 28th September 2008 at Blenheim Palace, Oxfordshire, as part of the Bike Blenheim Palace event.


Bike Blenheim Palace

Blenheim Palace, in conjunction with British Cycling, is opening its magnificent Park (a World Heritage site) to cycling for the first time.

The day will be based around an event village, featuring stalls and exhibits, and refreshment facilities; the programme of events for the village arena includes vintage bikes, unicycling, bike polo, a mountain bike stunt team, and cycle skills for children, as well as many other activities.

But the main draw will be the cycling. Everyone will have the chance to explore the grounds on two wheels for the first time, and to watch some racing and time trialling. Above all...


The Brompton World Championship

Building on its first two successful years, this will be bigger and better than ever before, with up to 500 competitors taking part and the format changed to include heats and a final.

The Brompton World Championship is not a mass participation ride, it is a race: participants will be timed whilst completing a set number of laps on a specified course, as in previous years.

There will be prizes for the fastest competitors in the following categories: Men, Women, Junior (under 17), Veteran (60 plus) and Team, as well as Best-Dressed.

Please see the option below to register for coach travel to and from the event; this will be open to competitors and up to four accompanying supporters. Or see a map and directions to the venue. For those travelling from further afield, we have partnered with BRITISH AIRWAYS to offer attendees discounts on airfares; details will be made available after registration.

To minimise complications on the day, UK residents will receive their entry pack, including race number and timing chip, by mail before the event; overseas competitors will receive theirs on the day of the event.

Please ensure that you have read the rules of the race in full before you complete the entry form; your attention is particularly drawn to the dress requirements. By registering for the Brompton World Championship 2008, you agree to abide by these terms and rules.
The deadline for registration is Sunday 14th September 2008. The entry fee of £17.50 is payable when you have completed the registration process; this will include your entrance fee to the Palace grounds and insurance for racing.

on fait une équipe de France !

Imaginez le retour, la coupe avec nous à bout de bras, la foule en lièsse, la descente des Champs Elysées.....

Certains vont dire que je m'enflamme!

Je suis intéressé

Ou une équipe ...

Je crois que ça va "easyjeter" sec entre BCN et LHW... Il y a ici des "Cap Problema" qui ne vont pas laisser le saladier s'en aller comme ça...

Non Dani ?

Pour les plus courageux

1000 participants maxi.

Je n'ai pas encore eu le temps de me plonger à fond sur la question et n'ai que survolé la lecture du règlement de la course...

Je compte sur vous pour me répondre :
Les B trafiqués (MD, HSD, XRF-8...) sont-ils autorisés à prendre le départ?

Parce que si ce n'est pas le cas, c'est loupé pour les équipes de et de et de initiées par le forum!


Sinon, l'idée me plait bien et je serais volontier partante si mon emploi du temps me le permet!!

Autre détail :
Il faut tenir compte de cette date pour ne pas faire doublon avec le rassemblement de B qui est en train de s'organiser entre et pour septembre prochain!!

T'as oublié les

Ben voilà je ne voterai pas pour toi

Je viens de m'inscrire.

Il est possible de reserver un bus au départ de Londres (Heathrow ou Victoria station) et commander un jersey.

Il est possible de s'inscrire dans une équipe (5 membres maxi.) Je ne suppose que la formation d'équipes peut se faire après inscription des membres

17,5 £

Détrompe toi Caro,

un autre B doit rejoindre la famille bientôt et j'ai croisé 2 autres B dans mon coin. Sans compter Troinex qui même s'il est Genevois est encore en Suisse

Aller je ne t'en veux pas

Pas cette année, car il y a pour Madame un petit manque d'entrainement. Par contre, la smith(-machinchose) nocturne lui disait bien pour l'année prochaine.

De plus avec 2 B achetés a quelques mois d'intervales, je te laisse imaginer l'état du budget voyage
