My first after restrictions big ride plan

[Oldhippy]

As soon as restrictions are gone and life has some semblance of normal I'm loading the bike cycling to Dover via NCN 1 (Or the bits of it that are rideable at least) camping overnight and spending a day wandering around Dover Castle.

I plan to head in a similar direction but getting on a ferry and heading for France. Missed my fix for the last 2 years.

The Normandy beaches are one of my dream trips. It's planned, I have period maps, I have everything I want to see in my head I just haven't done it yet. Now you've got me thinking!

Do it. Cycling in Normandy is fantastic. And not far to go for you. If I lived down south I would spend a LOT more time across the channel.

I shall, the difficult bit will be persuading myself to return. All that land mass to travel and enjoy!

I'm looking forward to any ride that's not within three miles of home and has a cafe open. A pub would do...

indeed just to get back to "normal" club rides with cafes you can sit inside will be enough for me its to cold to stand outside a takeaway

Chirk to Llangollen along the canal.

You'll be up @Salty seadog 's end. I get up that way myself a fair bit too.

Including tunnels and the Big Tall Impronouncable Aqueduct?

Hoping to do LEJOG in summer. First 'big' ride when restrictions are lifted will be the same as the one I did when the first lockdown was lifted. An out and back 100 miler Dumfries to Brampton and back to see Mum

You've plenty time to plan these rides.
When are you thinking of going? Summer 2023?

 

[Oldhippy]

As soon as restrictions and safety allow.

Well laughing boy Whitty has already said that restrictions will be in place all through next winter, and Borislies can't even make his mind up how many of us will be fully vacinated by the end of October. Seemingly only politicians and the Police will have received both doses by then. The rest of us will still be in a very long queue.
At present rates it will take until 2023 for us all to get a first dose. 2 million a week? 2 million a year is more like it.
You can forget this year for anything.

 

[Oldhippy]

Maybe so but it's something to look forward to.
