The Barry Barry Road Race 2011: Date Announcement - Saturday 23rd of July

[Laddy Muck]

Cheers, Help-Ma-Boab. I shall be there with 3LittlePiggies and others. If it's only half as fun at last year, it should be brilliant.

[Alan Medic]

Excuse me Laddy Muck but that is the lowest form of cheating I've come across. Will you be getting the bus too? Getting someone else to do your drinking for you, huh.

[Laddy Muck]

Pfffft... behave Mr. Medic...you're miffed only because I didn't ask you to be my nominated drinker!

[jenniejenjen10]

this sounds hilarious!...i am new to ED so am definitely there in a spectating, drinking and general merriment capacity. best of luck to all you runners, you are braver and possible more foolish than i am. bring on the bbq and drinks at the end!

This race should be banned as it will upset all those worried about increased car use/reckless parking on Etherow Street outside St Anthony's School.

[DJKillaQueen]

A question for the organisers - is there anyway that a moslem can take part and substitute the drinks for soft drinks?

Edited in lieu of organsier's message below.

The Barry Barry Road Race is an open Kirk and all welcome. An inherent part of the challange of the BBRR is the consumption of the Pint/short/shot at either end so we would find it difficult to award the coveted title and Barry/Barriet Bear to anyone who has not followed that aspect of the run. However if a pint and half of Irn Bru is had at other end thats ok and a personal journey for those doing so - they just wont have a chance to lift the Bear. Perhaps be a pace setter for runners in either drinking or running capacity.

Look forward to crowning the Barry Runner 2011. Could be a strong field this year. PB's could fall (amongst other things)

Sun usually shines on race day.

Lasers set tae malky.....CHARGE!

[StraferJack]

This makes me smile, every single time

[DJKillaQueen]

OK fair enough...thought I'd ask as we have a footy player who can not drink alcohol so wanted to see if there was any way she could take part if she wanted to.

Tee hee me too! Although I have to confess I don't know what lasers set to 'malky' means....it sounds pretty serious, but kinda fun too :)

That should give him a heads start. I reckon I'll start at 1.00 then, on the Friday.

[Help-Ma-Boab]

Strawbs

Thats barry. 1.15 is a good time. We can give him a full induction and he will be well warmed up by the time the Barry Gun goes off. He will be in save hands.

Alan Medic:

Im technically still in the 2008 run but Im peaking at the right time this year so expect something special....

[mockney piers]

Darnation, first year i was going to run rather than look on amused, and I have to blimmin work so won't end up doing either.

Lasers set to manky sadly.

[georgia]

Will see you all at The Clockhouse :)-D

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Alas I have to work, first one I haven't attended.

[in a strictly 'count them out, count them back' sort of way, you understand.]

[mockney piers]

Does that mean you used to get on a bike or something?

[Strawbs]

Sorry i just re- read what I typed, baby brain sorry.. we will ARRIVE at 1.15 not run at 1.15.. SEe you all then..
