Great Nottingham Bike Ride.

[Cullin]

Planning to join the Great Nottingham Bike Ride in June 2009, so far there will be 4 of us on Trikes (50 miles) and 3 on bikes (18 miles). This is just in our family, thousands turn up from all over.

I wonder home many of you will be attending. Trikes and Bikes.

Hope to meet you there.

Didn't know this existed, might well do it

Sounds appealing but maybe a bit of a trek from here. What date is it?

 

[marc-triker]

Nottingham isn't to far away so depending on the dates. Who are the triker's if you don't mind me asking and where are they from?? i have a Trice Classic and N-ick has a Trice QNT.

Looks like the date this year is 21st June 2009.
On ICE Q's Myself and my Son, Brother in law and his wife on Redmount Rollers, Sister in Law, her husband and my wife on DF bikes, Son is riding my wifes ICE Q, as she wants to ride with her sister on the 18 mile route.
This webite has some details and a link to Notts City Council site.
There is a camp site across the road from the water sports centre, should think booking a plot in advance maybe a good idea.

I have e-mailed Notts CC for more details.

Might put my name down for the 50 miler and build up fitness between now and then and see how well I can go
The link to the NCC site - I can only find info on last years (2008) ride? Any idea what route the 50 mile would be?

Hi Gratts,
Sorry it took a long time to reply, here is a link to one of the previous rides showing each route, I should think it will be the same, I have still not had a reply from the NCC bike ride e-mail I sent.

[Riding in Circles]

I am planning on being at York.

OK Marc,
Don't worry about not making the GNBR, I will give you a phone call on a Saturday if it ever gets warm enough for a Sunday ride to catch up with you and N-ck.

Catrike,
Thanks for the PM on the Static trainer, If it is suitable and price not too high, there may be two units to be had at this end.

Cheers to you both.

Just had an e-mail reply from Hugh at Pedals, who wrote.
"I understand that the Great Notts Bike Ride this year will be on Sunday 21 June.
Entry forms are usually available online and in paper form (from libraries
and cycle shops, and Trent Bridge House, West Bridgord) from late
March/early April".
I hope this helps.

Looking forward to the ride Bill, looks like a good trike turnout.

Notts Council are looking at putting some upto date details on their website...
Should be a fun day out.
