Tube Olympics 2014 (winter)
With the real winter Olympics fast approaching, who is organising the corresponding Tube Olympics? I am happy to take the mantle if the usual suspect, Soup Dragon, is unavailable.

I suggest you contact SD via FB as he doesn't visit the forum too often and see what he want's to do?

Re: Tube Olympics 2014 (winter)
As Soup Dragon is the TO organiser but Tangy is the BERC how will R15 Round 4 work?
All London buses: 23 hours 25 minutes (with Adham, David, Josh and Tangy)
Holds some alternative challenge records. Not sure which ones.

Re: Tube Olympics 2014 (winter)
I was looking at the Biathlon, I cant see my body liking that one :L
The others look good, I've got my Tramlink route sorted. Just need to go through times.

Re: Tube Olympics 2014 (winter)
I quite happily do for any round I can attend for tcdl purposes if more than 4 tube challengers are in the round and wish to play darts afterwards please take results and I happily add them up. For Biathlon purposes I promise I wont have a blazing argument with my partner?
