Well we are just back from this years' CC Ecosse Tour to Inverness and the most common question I got asked (after they got over the shock of Day 2) was "where are we going next year???" It will also help me cure my post-tour blues by turning my thoughts to future tour possibilities.
Following on from discussions held previously and over the weekend I'd like to guage how much interest there would be in a Weekend Meetup, or whether a Point-to-Point tour is preferred.
So my idea of a Weekend Meetup was that we pick somewhere interesting in the North of England close to the border and book accommodation for a weekend, you either ride there under your own steam (making your own mini-tour), drive or get public transport and we use the local knowledge of the good people of CC-land to create some routes for us, i.e. Mental, Challenging, Pootle etc. (and maybe even persuade them to act as guides...)
That way people who don't want to stay overnight can still come and do some riding, and those who want to stay but don't want to do much riding have that option - this would be a more social aspect of meeting up with some of the names/faces of people you chat to online. @mcshroom already has great knowledge of this type of "touring".
OR, do folks want another point-to-point tour as we did this year? If that's the case where would everyone like to go?
Please Vote using the options above, suggestions welcome from all and expressions of interest gratefully received!
Calling those who were on this years' tour (or have previously expressed an interest, or are randomly picked by me):
@Edwardoka @Pat "5mph" (who can canvas the Belles) @Harry_Palmer79 @DougieAB @Scoosh @mcshroom @flyingfifi @traljapa @Somebuddy @bigjim @nickyboy @ColinJ @MikeW-71 @SatNavSaysStraightOn
...and anyone else who would like to express an opinion.
Ahthankyoukindly
