If you need somewhere to leave a bag during the brevet, head for Cycle World, 58 Charles St, Blenheim (just a block from Seymour Square). If you are hiring a SPOT tracker from Pat, you'll be able to drop it off there after your ride. They'll kindly be opening early on the 4th Feb, so you can get any last minute bike supplies at the same time as you drop off gear.
The Start List post has been updated, with the list being split into confirmed and unconfirmed starters. We're still getting the odd person wanting to sign up, so we need people to confirm (or step back) sooner rather than later, please. It's now only 18 days to the start of the 2012 Kiwi Brevet! If you aren't confirmed by the end of the month, we'll assume you have decided to give it a miss this year.
Kiwi Brevet veteran, Jeff Lyall, has volunteered to carry out this years rider's survey (Thanks Jeff). Some of this information is essential in case of an emergency.
Also, we all put a lot of effort into preparing for this event and it would be great if you were able to share some information about yourself and your set-up. We are looking at making a page on the Kiwi Brevet website for rider profiles.
If you are happy for us to share your answers then please let us know, otherwise we will just keep your info unpublished.
It would be great to have the details from you before the event starts, along with some contact information for during the race. At the end of the event, we'll ask you for a quick summary of how things went, what you wish you'd had, and what you wish you hadn't!
If you could reply to the questions below, via email to jeff.lyall (at) gmail.com that would be much appreciated. A photo of you and/or more importantly, your bike would be really good !
