This sounds fun. Who can participate in it?
Also, I couldn't find information on the participation fee on the website. Can you please advise the budget estimate?

No idea on entry fees. Might have to wait till the end of the month.

Imagine that it won't be a cheap exercise with airfares to London and accommodation during their summer. Finger in the air from past experiences, $2500 for return airfares and probably around $150 to $250 for accommodation per night minimum. But the exchange rate is pretty good now with the aussie dollar.

I won't be going as my holiday leave would have all be used up by then. Plus I'll need to do quite a bit more training and up my race experience. Thought with the talent in DHBC we might be good contenders to the podium. :D
