  • I could bribe the other half, only problem is she hasn't passed her test yet so that might be a bit scary!

    Also I'm not sure how we could get 10 people + bikes in a van? Don't you need a higher licence to drive a big van now?

  • Despite my protestations, I've decided to do this again. However, in the spirit of can't be arsed to get the train to London and needing to train for PBP, I'm going to do it from Sheffield and probably going to do it fixed.

    If any northern forumengers fancy it (or anyone fancying a different, slightly longer route) then I'd relish the company.

  • What's the terrain like - it's mostly flat right?

  • Certainly nothing like your avatar.

  • I've done this route before (during the day) and am really tempted.

    In fact, 107mi of the way there to Dunwich a couple of weeks ago from London and it was a blast.

    However, I will need to see how my legs are after my 350mi ride the previous week. I may well be a late addition if I'm not crippled.

  • Despite my protestations, I've decided to do this again. However, in the spirit of can't be arsed to get the train to London and needing to train for PBP, I'm going to do it from Sheffield and probably going to do it fixed.

    Stupid idea. What time would you be leaving Shef? (It's an extra 60 miles so ~2pm-ish?)

  • hmmmm...I might come off the list and offer my services for the estate car broom wagon if its still needed.

  • Stupid idea. What time would you be leaving Shef? (It's an extra 60 miles so ~2pm-ish?)

    I made it about 40 extra miles if you don't mind doing a couple of stretches of main road. This is based on my home in Todwick just west of Worksop. Leaving around 5-6ish. Companions welcome, could be done as a DIY.

  • I reckon I should just about be able to manage this. I haven't lost as much fitness as I'd feared, and I've got 3 months to get the rest back. I'm doing a 6 mile each way commute now, and I'm going to do gradually increasing weekend rides out in Kent. Need to lose a few kgs too.

    Tom, what part of kent? if you wanted to partner up sometime I might be around

  • Sidcup, so not really Kent, but Kent's the nearest place that's nice to ride. I'm not up for Westerham or that sort of silliness just yet - recovering leg and 72" is making hills a struggle.

  • i ride geared most of the time anyway. havent built up the courage to try fixed yet. dont think my knees will take it. im not a fan of hills so like the area out on the grain peninsula. or the flatlands around headcorn/tenterden are always good.

  • I ride through Sidcup a fair bit from SE8...let me know if you want to join me for a gentlish ride to get your legs back

  • In!!!

    In for this year.

  • SC have the return coach arrangements up on their site if anyone's interested. Not sure I'd have the energy to cycle to Ipswich to train it back so may well book a seat shortly.

  • ^ I'm still hoping there's gonna be another forum coach. Last year it was fan-bloody-tastic! No hanging around for hours to board, and no hanging around for hours to unload bikes. Plus there was Braker catching flies:

    bump. ill need to know....

  • Fuck it. I'm (probably) in depending on state of my legs after by big one the week before. Its a nice flat route and my parents house is within riding distance. Might be a bed or two spare for a select few. Will talk to my parents and find out.
