The NLL between Gospel Oak and Stratford is not due to re-open from its total closure until 1st June.

If Zone 1 is Friday 4th June then the R15 could be Saturday 5th June which would work as long as the closure doesn't overrun.

Indeed this can form part of "Tubefest 10"

Seems a good idea. The next R15 was going to be in March but you moved the January one to February to be part of the Tube Olympics, so I think the next one should be in April. Perhaps think about setting up a poll now for the date.

Tubefest X, surely? I'm sure it will please Neil too, which always helps!

What is tubefest 10? When is it taking place? Whats involved?

Oh yes, I was aware that the 10 was for 2010 rather than the 10th staging of Tube Fest, however much like the FIFA computer games, FIFA '10 sounds rather poor in comparison to FIFA '09. But then again, Tube Fest MMX sounds even more lame than Tube Fest '10, so unless we break the rules of roman numerals (that neither you or Neil will allow!) we're left with Tube Fest 10.

So there we go.

"Tubefest" generally encompasses the Z1 challenge and the R15 that takes place either the evening before or day after, so this year it'll be 4th June plus either the 3rd or 5th.

Probably the 5th.

I see. I really have been out of the loop then if this has been happening a few years....!!

Well, I used to venture in here, read some things, decide you're all sad and leave again

I just wanted to show off my knowledge of Z1 history. A post on a Scottish man's blog started it all you know...

Didn't said Scottish man want to do "one last crazy thing before I leave for Scotland for ever?" Wasn't he the one interviewed on the BBC news segment, as the organiser of the inaugural zone 1 day?

Don't worry I've read up on the history too, and hence knew what you were getting at with '10!

Doing one challenge does not make me one of you lot

No, but winning it does

I had to show you what it was like to win something

Yes! It could be the Tube X Games!

Extreme tube challenging? One or two ideas spring to mind, none of which are unoffensive...

How about the Tube X-Factor?
