2012-08-04 - Exmouth Exodus

you wont get cold in that

You can wear the hat/bonnet/whatever it's called.

haha, bonus points for doing 100 miles overnight dressed as a conifer.

You're on!

My plans for this have gone awry so I will not be able to get to the start before 11pm at the earliest

Still hoping to see you all along the way though!!

Well I've just spent 32 minutes on an 0845 number to an iIndian call centre in order to book two train tickets, at no little cost.- and all because online booking doesn't allow any facility for making 'compulasary' bike reservations.

@ ChainBreaker- I've paid exactly the same as you; £25 out and £43 back. Even now I don't have a cycle reservation for the Exeter-Bristol leg. so I can only hope that the main body of Bristol cyclists will have 'Exodused' Exmouth by 12.57pm.

Still, really looking forward.

Thats identical to my story John.

Sad news - no conifer costumes at the fancy dress shop :( Might have to have a rethink.

Shame not to see you at the start, Moonboy; this means I may not be there to lead you on a detour by Glastonbury Tor as I did last year.

Bad times, especially given the opportunity to use dropouts outrageous pun

Reserved bikes down, hopefully there wont be annoying staff for the return, grumble grumble bring back bike carriages.

I would not have found my way out of Bristol without your keen sense of direction!

In. Why is it so difficult (impossible) to book a bike ticket? Other than that, looking forward to it. Probably shold be getting some zzzs now in preparation.

Ok, who is going from paddington at 7?

Hats, cupcakes and myself as far as I'm aware... Who else?

I have a challenge. Can someone help. I need to attach 2 small speakers to a handlebar bag. How do I do this??

Project for the train: http://www.johnlewis.com/Search/Search.aspx?SearchTerm=velcro#1

I've got a GCSE in Textiles, it'll be super easy.

To overshoe or not to overshoe, that is the question.

I know it's going to rain, but are there any locals who can advise? Are the roads already very wet?

I'm on the seven train, and the 6:45...

And rod?

just fitted new monkey electric lights!! and running late for my train

Ive just been hit by a car...

Not badly might i add, but i suspect i may be a little sore on this ride.

How do i upload the damn route onto my new Garmin??? It says that the files too big - hows that possible??? Its new, without anything on it.

use the link on their own forum to get the route, i couldnt get the official link to work

Shit, glad you sound OK, pretty bad timing for a knock.

The good thing is that because of tonight, i was taking a leisurely ride around so when the car suddenly turned in front of me i just slid over the bonnet.

I won't be doing it :(
Skint, underprepared and knackered

Ah dude:-( I was looking forward to rolling with you :-(

Same here. Would have been epic. I have to miss Breakfast at Tricitys too :-(

Yeah, I have a spare. I think dumps wanted it but has since purchased one of their own...
