CycleChat End-to-End Relay

[Garz]

We could setup a thread for each leg once we have the distances/organisers sorted.

I suppose it's all going to be the west (wrong) side of the pennines?

Ah, good point CP. Is it?

I'd vote for yes but that's only one opinion and I'll go along with whatever is decided.

If we are carrying something along, we could all sign it or something, ie. a jersey being signed by all the riders.

Sub-forum created - any other threads that need moving into here? PM me if there are.

Cheers,

yeah you're right Wigsie . no point in getting stressed. I'll leave it all to you. You seem to be managing far better than me.

At least someone has mapped nearly 1/4 of the route for you.

I'm just going to ride my section now, it will be my only contribution.Good luck with the organising

Peanut .. is this a serious post ? or are you just having a wobbly moment about the stressed out comment ?

I noted Jakes Dad's enthusiasm for telling everyone about this idea, so if you want I can post an announcement across all the forums for you.

Just send me a PM with the annoucement text and I'll put it up.

Cheers,
Shaun

Oooh!, just found this in it's new home. The route passes me quite close by on it's way from Biggar/West Linton - Pitlochry. Lots of CycleChatters in Edinburgh/Perth.

I would be more than happy to ride part of this section.

As for mapping, I could do some of the route, but I have very little local knowledge north of the Forth, there be dragons!.

On the subject of LBS involvement, this sounds like the sort of thing that Ed Bike Co-Op may be interested in. Anyone got any contacts with them?

It might take a day or 2 for people to find it again ? plus its the weekend and the weather is good so not so many people stuck indoors on the computer ?

I think the way forward for now is to get the main event organisers and the regional co-ordinators voted in and then the official routes can be posted up for people to put their names to whether they want to be riders or helping in other ways ?

I would imagine that for many of us taking part that this will probably be the only time we ever do something like this so it might be an idea to have some regional photographers to get some snapshots for the photo gallery here on the forum and for the riders to have as keepsakes ?

Just found this in its new location and although I am a newbie to this forum I love the idea and offer my help.

Welcome Darryl, Your are more than welcome to get involved in this however much or little you want to.

My geography for pretty much the whole route is poor but I would imagine being in the Cotswolds it must pass rasonably near to you at some point.
