I assume this works like any other bike race? A start list is either e-mailed, mailed or otherwise made public (as in on the 3ppp website). You present yourself at race HQ in time for race prep, sign on on the signing on sheet, scibble down your licence number, hand over your licence and get your number(s) and start your race prep?
It's just a standard sign-in as far as I remember... but my memory could have been jaded by the pain and suffering (only joking H!!). All I'd say is get there early or you'll end up having to park miles way. Really gutted now I'm not doing it this year. Enjoy the champagne sound of over-inflated Landcruisers popping at the start!
How are you lot planning on carrying liquid/essential kit??
I will be using the 12 litre rucksack with bladder I use for long fell races/runs... It works with shouldering the bike, I have tried it...
