Freewheel Festival

I've just had the last email update from the freewheel people, and the site says that you need to bring your bib thing in order to ride.

However. Most of the packs only got posted today o_O

I rang up to ask, and they said if you don't have it, you need to take a print out of your original confirmation email to ride. There don't seem to be any official confirmation emails however, just irritating HTML emails with your name dropped in.¹

However, i am wondering, how are they going to 'police' this? I mean, it's a public route, right? If you just turned up along the route, rather than one of their 'hubs', are they going to turn you away?

I'm trying to reserve judgement until the day, but the organisation of the whole thing has seemed pretty weird. Also, what is it with the awful 1920s newspaper copy themed emails and website?

Anyway. It's lucky I rang to check, if they were to turn me away due to their inability to post out the packs (i'm told the bibs are ridiculous) then i would be fucking FURIOUS.

[1] - I rang them again...
This of course means that if you hate the bib, or you can't get it over your head, just print off an email and say you didn't get it ;)
