[summerdays]

Probably not for me... school bike ride one of the days, and the other day has been booked by my eldest. But I will bear it in mind in case either changes and I hope everyone has a great time - and take photos!!

 

[Hilldodger]

I'll be there with the Cyclemagic posse!

Looking forward to meeting all of those who can make it

 

[Arch]

Sounds good, I'll try to be there (PhD permitting, by which I mean if my supervisor hasn't locked me in a cupborad with my laptop)

I think I remember camping being an option? Any one else camping? Anyone else going from York?

 

[Sittingduck]

I am off the following week and was planning on going to my parents house in Solihull this weekend. Probably be taking the bike up - maybe on the train. I could catch the train to Derby on the Saturday afternoon and stay overnight then cycle the 44 miles through countryside back to Mom & Dad's Gaff on the Sunday evening

Not sure if this would work yet - will have to consider my options but stick me down for a possible...

Cheers,
SD

I would love to be there but unfortunately it's just a wee bit too far for me with the commitments I have. I look forward to hearing all the juicy gossip and scandal afterwards though!

 

[cannondale boy]

Would like to come also, but dunfermline is a bit far from that place called derby. I think it would be a good idea making a first annual metting in 3 places, wales, scotland, and england.

Just a thought though

 

[dubman]

Might pop along almost on my door step

 

[Aperitif]

Mouseketeer alert! < 250kms London to Derby...

 

[Shaun]

Yeah, sorry for the people t'up north, and darn sarf; there was no way of making it local for everyone, and I was running out of time to reccie locations, etc. so I picked BCW.

I'll try to start the planning earlier for next year's, and hope to move it around each year so we'll see you before too long. :?:

 

[dellzeqq]

looks good to me. Either on my tod (as in with the Mouseketeers, sleeping under the stars in a bivvy bag) or with the Babe (as in train and Cathedral Quarter Hotel). I've cycled lots of the A5 but know nothing about the stretch from Hinkley north on the A447 - is that an OK road?

 

[Davywalnuts]

I was about to suggest the same thing... but this is after to Dynamo too, isnt it??

The traffic is fast in places but not too bad - it'll be much quiter than the A5!

A nice route would be 447 to Caolville, on through Swannington and Griffydam then up past Castle Donnington.

But remember, the countryside in Leicestershire is rolling hills!

 

[Black Sheep]

would have loved to have been there, would have biked there too!

however, its my stag day that weekend.

Ah, nice one - congrats!

Everyone: Shall we all go to Black Sheep's stag weekend then?
