Great North Run Mega Assault

this is on sunday! everyone still up for it?

In London, was looking forward to this too. Will have to make do with the SkyRide instead ! 14km of traffic-less london roads !

i heard something similar was happening in newcastle soon too.

I would love to do this. Was 6am good time last year or could you push it a bit later ?

Time / place ?

Send facebook group message too. Personally, I tend to check that more than here.

think were making it 7 this year, but any later and there are too many people on the course i think

just got back from greece, i knew there was something on this weekend. whats the plan???

7 is fine by me .. if you would rather be safe, we could say 6.30am ?

By the way, I met a few people last night (Tuesday) at Spillers/Cluny, I'm not sure if that's anyone on here. I'm Calum.

sounds like that would have been rich, marc etc.. marc is on here as marc77

ali: reckon it will be the same as last year, skate park at 7

haha ali as if u set your farm on farmville up with loads of trees while u were away so none of your crops withered!

Skatepark at 7 it is. You doin this scotty? Did I leave my coat in ur bag on the last ride?

My farmin skillzz be mad smart

You won't have any problem getting up in the morning if you've become a farmer then Al... ;)

cfesq - Yep, that was me, don't think anyone else out is on here. Good to meet you, shame we didn't get more of a ride in !

looks awesome guys, was at GNR but working for a charity all day, mayb next year

looks awesome. i slept through my alarm - woke up with a shitty hangover, feeling like a right lazy bastard.

i had a fucking hangover you lazy bastard! although upon reflection i spent the whole ride whining about how i wished i had stayed in bed. good fun though.

you gonna upload your photos ali? some of them looked pretty sweet on the camera

apparently this is on the 19th this year? this sunday!

who's up for it?

Was discussing this with dave yesterday. I'm keen but know nothing about it (where, how far, etc)

pretty easy ride, just meet 6/7 and ride the route, about 13 miles, rest, ride home

Sounds easy when you say it quick!!!
You missed out the part about doing it in 20 minutes
