I’m doing Copenhagen next year, deferred from this year. We got an apartment through booking.com which we are hoping to redo for next year just need to see what’s happening with easy jet flights. I did it 3 years ago and we got a 1 bed plus sofa bed for my daughter apartment through homeandaway which was good apart from being on the third floor. As long as you are near a train or metro station you are sorted for transport to from airport and race. Buy a multiple ticket as good value. To rack bike I rode there easy enough and got metro back with family. Race day I think public transport was free for athletes and hassle free. My biggest worry is when I actually might start training again
Not me. I did it 2018 and stayed at Cabinn City
Thanks for that. I’m looking forward to cycling the bike into transition on the Saturday, for sure. Are you injured then? Seems like a good time for R&R right now…hopefully your bad luck quota out the way and you can be back to training soon…
Finally had our flights cancelled this week so accommodation cancelled overnight, time to start again…
I did IM Copenhagen last year and stayed at Cabinn City. Rooms are small and basic, but location was perfect and it was cheap.
Loved Copenhagen. Beautiful city.
Yep, I also booked Cabinn City for 2020. To me the location looked perfect and when I contacted them to check up on a couple of features they couldn’t have been more helpful. Also very reasonably priced
Just seen my name on the start list, better start thinking about doing some training. Need to lose at least a stone in 6 months, just 2 mince pies left in the cupboard, shame to throw them out.
Looks like we’re on for this, just the small problem of the 10 day quarantine on arrival into Denmark as things stand which kind of ensures a distinct lack of UK participants I’d have thought. Let’s see what changes in the next 12 weeks.
Another deferal looking likely. We just need to know that our accommodation can be deferred
Deferred to 2022. Third time lucky…?
our apartment accomodation have said we can defer to 2022 (I think we will need to pay some extra, which I can live with) and Easy Jet have just cancelled our return flight so I think that means we can get a refund. At least I’ve now got a year to do some actual training, lose some weight and Brucey bonus (not that it will make much difference), I’ll have gone up an age group
If I’ve read things properly, double jabbed people won’t need to isolate on arrival which is very helpful. If the uk rules remain I’m sure I can cope with isolating when we return. Probably need a negative test pre take off though.
The Northwest of England is now on Denmark’s red list. I am deferring until next year and got credit for flights (as Easyjet cancelled our return flight) but we didn’t have cancellation option for our accomodation so, might sound selfish, but could do with us remaining on red list until the race so I might be able to get some accomodation money back from credit card/insurance. Our holiday insurance won’t pay out yet even though our return flight was cancelled. It’s not a disaster to write off the accomodation and our current accomodation company wanted same again just to transfer it a year which I sort of understand but feel a bit peeved about.
It’s all so fluid at the moment, there must be some confidence on the part of our airline as they’ve increased the size of plane and started seating people together as opposed to leaving a seat in-between as they had previously.
If the red list carries on across the UK however that’s no help. If we were due to fly in on Wednesday we might just make it as you need 4 days isolation before they test and release you but we’re in on Thursday so unless I can register/rack/race on Sunday that doesn’t work!
4 weeks to the deferral deadline, we shall see…
I’ve just checked the GOV.UK website…
“ The UK has an orange rating except for four areas which are rated red due to increased infections from a COVID-19 variant (Blackburn with Darwen, Bolton, Rossendale, Bedford)…”
“ Entry to Denmark - fully vaccinated
Unless you are arriving from a red region, fully vaccinated UK residents can enter Denmark for all purposes, without the need to self-isolate. However, you must present proof of a negative COVID-19 PCR test taken no more than 72 hours before entry. Two weeks must have passed since your second dose and the vaccine must be one approved by the European Medicines Agency.”
Go get a government PCR two days before you’re due to fly and it’ll come back in time
If not, then you can shell out the expensive one.
They added Scotland to the list today
Has to be a private one doesn’t it, UK government ones have no identity checks and are therefore not valid?
According to the Danish side of things no need for a PCR pre-arrival, as long as you’re not a red zone dweller:
That’s not what’s on GOV.UK
Anyways…not that I’m going
You could fly out from Manchester maybe…
