The Hampshire Hilly Hundred 2008
A: Yes, there will be an opportunity at 78 miles to opt out of the southeast loop. This allows you to get back to the Finish in another 9 miles rather than 22, reducing the total distance to 87 miles/140 km. You do not have to notify us in advance or even at the start which route you intend to tackle. You can make the decision on the road whether to ride the HHH Super Max (100 miles*), or the HHH Midi (87 miles*).
Q. If I only intend to ride the HHH Midi course, may I pay a lower entry fee?
A: Sorry! It's £20 for everyone.
Q: Do entrants receive confirmation?
A: An e-mail confirmation is sent (usually within hours). Very rarely, we have found that the e-mail address provided refuses to accept our reply. (Typical reasons: inaccurate address given, old address given, mailbox full, spam filters) If you do not receive our standard confirmation, please e-mail admin@sportivecycling.org.uk (It might help to use a different e-mail address to do so). If all fails, rest assured: if PayPal has taken your money, we have it, and you have a ride. Your name will be on the start sheet. All essential information will be posted and updated on this site (see below).
Q: I'm not keen on using the PayPal facility. Can I enter by post?
A: The Paypal facility is safe and easy,and you don't even have to be a PayPal member to use it to pay us withg a major credit card. If you have concerns or any particular problems regarding payment, please don't hesitate to contact us by e-mail, and we will do our best to sort you out: admin@sportivecycling.org.uk
Q: Can I enter on the day?
A: NO. Accepted riders and notified reserves only, please.
Q.: How will the start be organized, and when does the event start?
A: Please don't envisage a mass start like the Etape! As the HHH uses open roads, participants will be released in non-road clogging batches. Registration from 7.30 am.The phased start is scheduled for between 8.00 am and 9.30, on the assumption that even if the last people to set off (at 9.30) go round the course at an average 16.66 mph, they will still get back at a reasonable 3.30 pm. Any late changes to this schedule will be e-mailed to all entrants and posted here.
