The Devon contingent (well, me and Baggy) might well be up for a bit of that...

 

[Chuffy]

Well that would be great as well. You do realise if you turn up dressed like that it could turn into Deliverance in some of the villages don't you? Especially Burtle

Have a look into the train times, if you will be coming by train of course, and we can arrange accordingly.

It's begun......................................

Yes yes, I dress like this all the time...

Train possibly but more likely by car at that time. Or biodiesel van if we rope Andy Gates in.

Count me in, it's half term so I am about. Highbridge is my local station so I can meet and greet people off the train. There is also parking at Highbridge station if people are driving.

 

[johnnyh]

any clue as to likely distance and pace?

 

[summerdays]

I'm at a wedding the day before - (in Monmouth) so it might depend on how I felt in the morning.... though I don't think its a late thing. As above what sort of distance/speed.

 

[surfgurl]

Sounds good to me. I will volunteer myself to be the slowest, cos I will be.

 

[mickle]

Pencil I in.

 

[johnnyh]

as a newish type to this lark and running round on a Giant Boulder and not a road bike, would I be shunned as a leper or tolerated as a fool?

 

[surfgurl]

You'll be streaking off into the middle distance given my average speed!

You have to ping your bell and shout 'UNCLEAN!' every 20 yards.

 

[Chuffy]

Could I suggest a slightly later kick-off, say 11am from Highbridge station?

There's a train that gets Baggy and m'self in at 10.39 and doesn't necessitate us getting up at stupid o'clock. We don't do early....

just like at home then

 

[simonali]

I can't make this due to work.

Next time, perhaps?

 

[Chuffy]

Er, up to you really Mr Maggot. I take it Mrs M and the little Maggots aren't transportable? Baggy and I will do our heroic best, but we have a long and ignoble history of failing to get out of bed in time for things...
