First thing to say - this is not an organised ride! The route is roughly planned, though not yet fixed in stone and we have not yet decided where we'll be stopping for the two nights or staying. It'll either be B+B or campsite. We have one 'support vehicle', with one or possibly two drivers who will be able to carry some kit - clothes, drinks, food etc.
The date is fixed (no pun intended.....) - it's the weekend that the L2B24 was due to take place: 30th August to 2nd September. The plan is to travel to Pembroke on 30th August and then start the ride on 31st, finishing by 2nd September.
As far as pace goes, we'll be aiming to travel at around 15mph average and have short rest stops every 30-ish miles, covering about 125-ish miles per day.
If you're still interested in joining up, let me know and maybe we can meet up for a ride or just a get together (or both) to make some more plans! (I'm new here, so can't DM until tomorrow, but if you head to my website, you can get in touch via the contact page.
Ed - thanks for the further info.
To give you some more background -
The two of us are riding for charities. I'm riding for the Multiple Sclerosis research unit at Oxford University and Chris is riding for the Oxford Radcliffe Hospital charitable fund.
