ga! camping trip sounds great but im in austria then. i like the sound of fonedogs plan, we should get a weekly bike ride trip sorted. sunday nights would be good but does that clash with polo?

Ok so camping Saturday night somwhere cool ride back Sunday simples!
Meet around five? -
• #1181
Yep, what Pete said.
Ali, polo's at 4 on a Sunday. Plenty of time for riding after that

Matt and Pete, this is the bivvy-bag/hammock thingy that I've got. It's a handy alternative to tent when you wanna travel really light and only 25 bucks.

-
• #1185
Yeah man, you in?
-
• #1186
should be. what time you setting off?
-
• #1187
Yeah, what time are you setting off? Where shall I meet you en-route (Blyth-ish)? Also, I need to know what bikes peeps are planning to use. Have got access to a geared roadbike so no need to use the Viking if everyone else is going geared.
-
• #1188
Still planning to leave at 5 as far as i know. Any talk about it at polo?
By the time we've messed about, say 6:30 in Blyth? Can't remember the exact way the route goes but I don't think we need to go into the town centre so if we meet somewhere on the west side.
I'm going geared. -

whats the plan with this ride? you riding up the coast somewhere? campsites/wild camping? what would one need to come along? tent?
anyone doing it fixed?
-
• #1190
Yeah, ride til we find somewhere good to stop. Pub, beach, wild camp etc. Might try and pick up a cheap bivvy bag tomorrow instead of tent, didn't get round to getting the one John suggested. You'll be fine fixed
-
• #1191
Yes Matt, there was some talk at polo 'bout this trip. Ed mentioned a mate of his who might come along, plus Tristan and his mate too.
I'll probably catch you at the Bebside junction on the A189, just outside Blyth. I guess whichever way you go, you'll pass through there. Geared bike still not sorted, so may still turn up on the Viking. -
