What is the shortest route through 30 checkpoints! Have you
considered the crowd of Christmas shoppers, the fizzy December air, a bit of
Atlantic wind and there you have it: this is the perfect recipe for Sotonopoly,
the race in which each cyclist becomes a capitalist to take over the whole
city!
It has been two years since last edition, won by (Dr.)
Charlie Main and Alessandro Mozzato with 84 points and 13 points lead over the
runner up. There is plenty of room for improvement, though, as they only
managed to complete 60% of the course before the time was up. Do you think that
you can do better? Have you prepared you bike? Have you studied the maps? Have
you been waking up the muscles from the autumn stillness? Are you ready to burn
some calories in order to make space for next week’s food craze?
I hope to see you all on Saturday (19th of December) at 2pm at the Cowherds for race registration, final bike checks and a legs-warming pint. Remember to bring
I hope to see you all on Saturday (19th of December) at 2pm at the Cowherds for race registration, final bike checks and a legs-warming pint. Remember to bring
- a bicycle
- a helmet
- bicycle lights
- a map of the city and the surrounding area (as detailed as
possible)
- 5£ for entry
- some sort of digital camera (your cell
phone will do the job, if it has a camera).
After the race we will convene at The Alexandra Beer Emporium (6 Bellvue
Road SO15 2AY) to celebrate, stay dry, have some drinks and give out the
prizes (at 7pm)! The evening will continue with a DJ set from 9pm so tell all
your non-racing friends to come along!!
