Orwell Wheelers Car

Between now and late August we'll need to contact Orwell and confirm the car, what it will come with ( in terms of roof racks and anything esle) ?

We will need to collect it at the latest on the Friday 28th so as to bring to the Check-In.

I've the impression that it will need to be ME who collects it, as the car is being loaned out to me as an Orwell Member.
And i presume it will need to be me to return it.

DARAGH - this looks to be well within the details noted in the RULE BOOK.

how many bikes can the roof rack carry, be it fully complete or perhaps some need to have front wheel removed etc ?

4 intact (2 each side), and a further three in the centre with front wheels removed.
The arms for the intact bikes can be adjusted to a certain degree - it may take some playing around to get them to fit your frame without interfering with bottle cages and the like.

There's a wheel rack on the front which can fit max seven wheels, but they'd have to be a certain configuration of front and back, and with skewers that aren't very long.

Here's a couple photos to give you an impression:
