@Fubar, your next adventure arrives
On a serious note what a great film, hope that is getting used by Scottish Tourism.
Mark Beaumont did that route recently in about 40 hours? Think I could top that...
@Pat "5mph" next CCERS tour, after the Lakes.

Yes!!
But could we do it in 6 days?
Have you noticed how our CC Ecosse tours are getting longer in both milage and time, inversely proportional? While intervals between tours is getting shorter?
First tour we did about 140 miles in 3 days (some did a bit more) - second tour, a year later, we did 200 miles in 4 days.
Third one will take 6 days (for me), at least 300 miles, 8 months after the last one!
Was the last bit of the video taken at Loch Lomond, just before Luss, where Highland Games take place in spring, I think?
A bit ot: how do them real cyclist stay so skinny? Seems they're always stopping for eating!

Welll... if it was a CC tour I like the idea of their 9-day itinerary, although I doubt there is much accommodation for a large group plus the required leave, permissions, etc for 9 days...
Also LEL is 2017 so planning would need to move to 2018 - and we might all be deid by then!

Arh so LEL is a certainty for you then ?
When does that thread start
Ha ha, wondered if you'd jump on that - so I start a thread "Entered LEL - Now What???" spend the next year talking about it then decide I'm not cut out for it... Is that the plan?

Follow the training plans of the CC Audaxers and they will have you ready in time

I probably will be deid if I carry on working so many hours lol.
My brain must be fried, did you not say they did the 500 miles in 40 hours?
Nine days would be lovely, plenty of picture stops
No CC Ecosse tour in 2017 then, 'cause you're a hardened audaxer now, abandoning us

I said Mark Beaumont did it in 40 hours - slight difference.
And I didn't say I was doing LEL, I just said it was on in 2017...

We'll have to drag Rasmus back from Bristol to be our intrepid leader then ... wait a minute! @Telemark is right round the corner though
