Simon

No, not yet!
I have read a few which turn out to be whingers. I wonder if it's just their way of trying to make the story interesting and they think it'll be less so if everything goes to plan.

I would love to attend this .. i've just read Alastair Humphreys books (moods of future joy & thunder & sunshine) and spookily i downloaded the first 5 of Friedels podcast's last night and have been listening to them today (without knowledge of this thread)

Simon

Oh dear, the first podcasts! I fear they weren't very good I should re-listen to them sometime....

Sounds like there are going to be a lot of people there. Should be a great night! Look forward to meeting everyone.

I agree - a little less introspection and a bit more awareness.

But surely, Grasshopper, awareness requires introspection.

I bow to your wisdom, Master. The path to sagacity is long and we have many steps .....

Enough now (ed)

I'm enjoying them so far i think im about 9 podcast's in at the moment (you are in Slovenia) and im looking forward to catching up to present day

I listened to the Resonance FM Bike Show podcast today and sadly it was the last one before spring so maybe my E-Mail to Jack about your night out was a little to late

Damn, if only I didn't live so far away. I'd have loved to come along.

For the person who wanted the video, I bought a video camera today. What a bad influence you are! I'm going to try it out this weekend.

OK, so from what I can see we currently have

• Friedel and Andrew http://travellingtwo.com/
• Al Humphreys http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alastair_Humphreys
• jay clock www.crazyguyonabike.com/julian
• dragon 72 (maybe)http://www.crazyguyonabike.com/Alistair (I think that's the right site)

• rich p http://www.crazyguyonabike.com/richpo
• jakes dad (Simon)
• tony http://www.crazyguyonabike.com/TouristTony

Can I suggest that anyone else who wants to come cuts and pastes the list above and adds in their journal (if any!) so we can get a serious inferiority complex over the pathetic nature of our own touring palmarès?

 

[dragon72]

I'll definitely be there, and that is my crazyguy page!

[Cathryn]

Gutted I can't come...Friedel and Al Humphries are heroes of mine, and I want to meet the rest of you too.

I need to think about this, I'll be down south that week but am not sure I can get myself there, for various reasons.

 

[jay clock]

Come on Cathryn, we would love to meet you. You are MY hero!!

There is a possibility I may not be able to come now due to work but I will do what I can to wangle it!

Come on now... yes, some of us have done a few miles but that doesn't make us 'great'. We are all just ordinary people who like to ride our bikes. Nothing more, nothing less.

Looking forward to meeting all of you.
