  • So LEL, who has ridden it before and who is planning on doing it?

    It has been my plan for the last two years, but after Flatlands which some of the route is not dissimilar too, I'm having second thoughts, I'm not sure if the route is going to be interesting enough?

    Started having second thoughts, and maybe Thinking Milles Pennies or the Irish one Hippy posted instead.

    I'm 50:50 at the moment. Mostly depends on family time.

    2009 was great fun. Overstretched controls, only some food included, only 3h sleep in a bed (Langdon Beck YH) but I did have two 3h sleeps on an inflatable mattress at Thorne Rugby Club, horrible weather for some of it.

    The first 300km across the flatlands is great to get some time in the bank, it gets a lot more varied after that and the bits up in Scotland are utterly gorgeous.

  • I hadn't thought of the flat bits in that way, I will certainly need to build up some time!

    I think I will end up doing it, living in London it will be pretty cool to ride from my flat to Edinburgh and back, and I don't mind a bit of tlc on a ride. Brian Chapman was ace for that reason.
