On the last weekend of August, a good friend (and forum member chowsh) and I are setting off to ride Coast to Coast across the country. Not the wussy Northern version, but the full-on widest part of the country version, from Pembroke (South Wales) to Gt. Yarmouth in Norfolk.
We'd originally planned for there to be three of us and it was supposed to be the London to Brussels 24hr ride but then one of the trio fell off and broke his hip (ball clean off top of femur) and shoulder and the following day, the organisers cancelled to L2B24 due to insufficient entries!
I'm writing here to find out if anyone would like to join us for the whole thing or for one of the days, or even just for sections of the days! We're open to all the above as Chris and I already know all of each others jokes!
We are doing this for fun, but also for charity. I am riding for Oxford Multiple Sclerosis research (Virgin Money Giving page here if you want to sponsor.....) and Chris is riding for the Oxford Radcliffe Hospitals charitable trusts (Just giving page is here if you'd like to sponsor...).
The plan is to travel down to South Wales on 30th August and then set off first thing on 31st. We'll ride all day for 31st, 1st and 2nd, hopefully arriving in Gt Yarmouth on the evening of the 2nd September.
The third member of our team (the broken one!) is now driving again and will act as our support driver carrying kit and food/drinks to rest stops.
So, who's up for joining in?
Dave
