I don't know about further. I'm not really sure how I'll get on with a 160 miler and as you know I do little group riding so I never know how these things work out. I am interested in Italy though :tongue:.

It was a more of a "micky take" but for summer it has some potential and might happen?

The North Sea Circular??

Other ideas / hairbrain plans

Go see the Tour? northern France cobbles or the Tourmalet

Set off at first light and ride, and ride, and ride, and ride - London out towards the south west until you can ride no more. Hole up somewhere before catching the first train back to London in the morning

Another planned ride which I never did for medical reasons:sad:
Train to Newcastle, ride over the border into Scotland to finish in Edinburgh, train home. Easily doable in a day, from London as well, and quite cheap if booked in advance.

Plan in winter for big rides in summer.

Warning - some rides may contain hills, especially oop north, please advise early if you have an hill allergy...;)

I obviously must be missing the holidays already, as I've just spent my lunchtime actually considering this.

As long as it's in the summer (if we get one) and I can get a bike with panniers, it could be a nice summer break.

It could even be combined with a Whitstable FNRttC (end of May/August), straight onto Dover for an early ferry.

I've even looked up ferry prices :biggrin: £16 Dover to Calais. £108 Rotterdam - Hull B). I prefer the Harwich option at £33.

I better get back to work before I put anymore thought into this.
