Re:Goodwood Roller Marathon - 10th August 2008 - 12:42 06 Aug 08
winnersh's post to the longboarders although a lot of it is true for us skaters too, I'll let you decide which bits! 
Woop! 11 Longboarders will be setting out at high noon on Sunday attempting to complete the 11 laps in record time. In total, there are 284 people signed up so lots of people to dodge. Whether you're racing or simply trying to stay alive after 26 miles get there early and say hello.
Top tips from me are:
1. Stay off the racing line where possible. There will be rollerbladers and this is a points event for them.
2. Hydrate yourself. Before, during, and after.
3. Bring money for ice cream.
4. Even if there is no r*in, there will be wind. Oh yes.
5. You might lose count of the number of laps you do. Remember, only complete idiots to this :oops: Take a felt tip and mark yourself if you have problems counting.
6. If you've not already done so, choose a name for your board. This will make you go faster.
7. e-mail Nat Wafflesole with your choice of name.
8. Ladies rears look great in Lycra so take some dark sunnies so you can perv on the sly.
9. Be warned. Men also wear Lycra. Ensure that you sex each Rollerblader before lowering your gaze otherwise you could be in Budgie territory.
10. STAY AWAY from the Alpine Skiers. Total weirdos.

, in years past we parked under cover in the paddock area, will there be any additonal parking available.?.
just been onto the Goodwood Marathon website and seen that the site plan has changed... So its backup under the tunnel on entrance to the track and left to the paddock, undercover parking if you are there early, Great Insentive as its going to be sunshine and showers!! from the bbc web site.
