cheshire~rose 733 Report post #1 Posted December 4, 2019 Can anyone confirm the dates for the BCN Challenge 2020? (apologies if it has already been shared somewhere I did search but didn't find it) Would I be correct to assume it might be the weekend of 23rd/24th of May? Next year is already becoming a logistical challenge and I need to know if it is do-able Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Of course it will go ahead! Team Delhi has a crew. If we don't remind anyone else about the competition we stand a chance of being placed a little higher than if there are loads of entries Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was wondering thre same. Been very quiet on this subject this year. I have the actual challenge dates off work, but currently working on the Monday so will need to try and swap some shifts, or find a mooring for a few days with parking.

harrybsmith 23 Report post #20 Posted January 14 I heard "on the grapevine" that the dates are pretty much set, but can't guarantee it in any way. I'll be doing it again anyway, and I'm not even being a total loner this year and have esteemed/esteamed crew Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dave_P 353 Report post #24 Posted January 14 I may cycle it again this year and try and beat my mileage from last year. If I'm clever I can strategically moor my boat for the saturday night to sleep on, start from one of the railway stations and try and do most of the BCN over the 2 days, then finish at.... hang on, where's the finish?

That is why we need to know if the BCNS are organising so we have a finish point. 2 hours ago, Dave_P said: I may cycle it again this year and try and beat my mileage from last year.
