Manchester to Blackpool 2014...

[potsy]

...who's in?

Wasn't going to do this but my new employers have an association with it and even pay our entrance fee and organise transport to bring us home.
Will be a good chance to get to know a few people too.
Received my No and ticket the other day, quite looking forward to it now

You could ride back, it is quite flat.

I'm in for the 52 again but my training has taken a hit this past couple of weeks so I'll just be out for a pootle TBH

52?

Are you not going all the way then?

He's leaving early to try and beat an 11yr old to the finish line beer and BBQ that work provides

Are you getting mixed up with the Manchester ride 13/26/52 miles?

I'm in and so is my son, he's raised over £100 in sponsorship already

D'oh! Indeed I am

 

[Boopop]

I'm doing this - getting the coach they're putting on from Blackpool. Can't say I've raised much money though...

 

[Kbrook]

I did this last year, never again. Madness, chavs on bikes going though every red traffic light, wrong side of the road. You take your life in your hands if you do it and I was embarassed to be part of it.

 

[fossyant]

Can I hide in one of Potsy's panniers. Beer and BBQ....

Must admit those were similar thoughts to mine when I did it a couple of years ago, said I wouldn't do it again.

If my firm weren't organizing the day then I wouldn't have bothered, the beer and bbq is a bonus

I didn't see any of that going on
