LEL Brevet cards and refunds?

[MSeries]

I don't think Ivo was blaming Keith & Sue. 

[sbseven]

I'm usually a bit hesitant to see personal info posted on the web, but ... points out this is publicly-available...

If anyone objects then let me know...

That's true MV, but this forum has a much wider audience... I think it needs removing.

Brevet Card arrived today.

[EDIT] Since it has come from the validators I doubt it will include any refunds etc. It says to contact the organiser directly for any outstanding matters.

If you rode LEL2009, it would help enormously if you could complete a short questionnaire about your experience of the event. Click on Audax UK, and follow the link at the top of the frontpage.

Got my card, filled the questionnaire in.  I didn't see any section for things we thought went well.

[lantern rouge]

My Brevet card arrived today too.

[Greenbank]

I didn't see any section for things we thought went well.

For the online one, the top one is a general "did you enjoy it", I put all of my positive comments in there, using most of the categories listed below it.

I then put the individual negative comments and problems in the sections below.

[simonp]

I thought of that afterwards. 

As for negatives, the only ones I put were the queuing at the start and Eskdalemuir sleeping facilities being overloaded.  Everything else has met or exceeded my expectations.

[Greenbank]

Main gripes:-

Queueing/administration gripe. (Cards should have been pre-filled in, or done by a team of people.)
SAEs provided but not used.
Photos provided but not used.
Website not updated (when it said it would be).
Could have done with a bespoke brevet card for the event (the outside, not the control list on the inside).
Eskdalemuir overcrowding (mainly due to tailwind and poor weather).
Route between Sleaford and Ruskington.

Other than that, utterly fantastic.

Now to find a frame for the Brevet Card, rider number and little medal thingy.

[simonp]

I like my PBP card being different. Wonder what the italian ride will have. 

[Salvatore]

Wonder what the italian ride will have. 

Last time there was a sheet of paper for stamping and a certificate and medal at the end

I understand that for Pompey Phill, that has been sorted too and was received a week before the Brevet cards.

Jolly good.

I'll be framing my Brevet Card along with my frame number and the little medal thingy.

One of those "LP Cover" frames is about the perfect size.

[arabella]

My frame number has been prominently displayed at work a few months now.  No-one has commented so far.

[Ivo]

My frame number is still on my bike, should take it off though since the new season started.

[Andrew]

No idea where my frame number is but I do know it's around somewhere. I got quite excited when I saw this thread over the weekend and I bounded out the door to meet the postie this morning but sadly he only had the usual Monday advertising stuff. Maybe tomorrow....

I like the idea of mounting card, medal and frame number in a 'gold disc' like frame though. Might have a look around and see what I can find picture frame wise!

I think you should put your sprocket in there (once its worn out, obviously).

Nice idea but it's an EAI steel sprocket so it'll be a decade or two before it's gone at 5000 miles a year.

Just checking out the questionnaire. When it says 'Choice of LEL route' does it mean the one the organisers chose or the one that I chose. Water was hard to find between Huntingdon and Peterborough and I had to resort to the guardhouse at RAF Alconbury.

Brevet card arrived - is now in recycling bin

Maybe I'm just not sentimental enough

It occurs to me that the DNFs won't have received this questionnaire.  Their views might be useful.

I'm not sure even where mine is.  Oh, I am now - it's still in a scanner.  TBH it was safer with Mel.

It's just a piece of paper.  The real value is in the achievement, non?

[MSeries]

Yup, just a bit of paper. Handy to have the Brevet numbers written down somewhere though, I'll need that for my ACP Brevet 5000 if I complete the remaining ride I need.

[Fidgetbuzz]

.  TBH it was safer with Mel.

It never got to Mel as there were "issues" - so AUK decided to hold the cards and finally decided to pay the extra postage to send out all cards, as the riders sae could not be accessed.

What was the timescale for informing the organiser of LEL that you were a non starter ?.I e-mailed about about 4-5 weeks before the start. I must admit I did'nt expect anything back, but having just found this thread it's set me thinking.I can well understand that food and services would have been purchased in advance and that the monies would have to come from somewhere.
