Around the bay query
Doing my first ATB on Sunday, and was just wondering if there was an specific reason for starting and finishing at Docklands (do you need t register or something?). I live 100m from Beach Road, so is it possibl to just join up when they go past (ie start and finish at home)? -- tortoise |

In fact you'll be better off as you won't get stuck at the start. They have free stuff at the end, so swing by to get some after you ride -- Shabby |

Though didn't some people pay extra for official timing? These dudes would have to start from the official start place. After 150 kays you're gonna realise that you should've started at Sorrento anyway ;-) Good Luck! hippy P.S. Chat to people - it makes your ride and their's SO much nicer! |

And one advantage of joining the official start is you can chat to others there beforehand, and often find a good group to join up with. I must say I didn't find the official start too bad at all last year. Perhaps it's because all the Euro-wannabes seem to skip it. -- Shane Stanley |
