wow!! that took me aaaaages to read! great idea ladies and gents. I'm an absolute newbie, but would be up for picking up the baton at Gloucester and heading north (maybe to tewkesbury) if you need somebody to do that stint? (currently living in Brighton, but my folks live in glos so i can fit in a little visit at the same time)
Can I just add: If people are only doing 10-20 mile stints, I really don't see the need for a support vehicle of any kind. The person doing a certain leg just needs the mobile numbers of the riders on the stages before and after. And then if something goes wrong, we can all just blame peanut for pulling out, right??
keep up the good work
p.s that bikehike.co.uk is bloody brilliant peanut! I'm planning my cycle from brighton to munich via luxembourg city, (see my thread) and the gradient/ m above sea level feature is
exactly what I was looking for.
p.p.s I'll be up for planning some routes if wigsie/garz/jakesdad/anybody tells me what routes need it.
