  • Say some fat idiot wanted to do the Pendle 600k because it's been in the "hard as fuck things I should do before I really am too fat to finish".

    What's the best way to get to Pendleton / Clitheroe from London?

    I wonder if I take Fri afternoon off and try to get a train up there before peak hour Fri night. I'd rather not go up later, get fuck all sleep and then have to get up at 5am Sat for the start.

    Euston 4:30 PM (Friday) - Preston 6:39 PM (2 hr 9 min) then a 20mile ride to Clitheroe

  • I think last time I did Ldn > Man Piccadilly, rode across to Victoria and got the train Manc > Clitheroe, about another 45mins / 1hr our of town.

    Would be joining you but got an APN place and my route is likely to sample lots of the same roads, so I've decided to DNS the Pendle. I still need to put it to bed one day though.

    I hope you're not staying in the B+B above a pub in Clitheroe I had last time, which had a full on rave in the bar complete with strobe lights on the Friday night. Didn't feel my best when I got to the depart

  • I've not booked anything for it yet. I just noticed it in my calendar and thought "hmm probs should organise something if I'm going to ride that"

    Another option might be to "wild camp" in my car somewhere near the start.
