Somerset Cycle Ride,like the Larndan ones.

[summerdays]

I'd be careful about asking chuffy that... next thing he'll be telling you about a wee ride he organises each year .... which I would love to do but I am too daunted by - I must turn up to the start this year though.

 

[Chuffy]

and chuffy, can you recomend me any good rides? but more west of exeter if you can.

Tricky really, I just get an OS map and plot a route for Baggy and myself. Your best bet is to contact the local CTC. I think they ride out of Newton Armpit and they should be able to help. Graham Brodie is yer man to ask.

Summerdays - The Exodus? Give it a go. Or you could help out at one of the stops, that would be much appreciated.

Sorry Maggot, back to you...

about 20-30 miles, at little above a snails pace, with at least 1 stop on the way round. Sound good?

snail overtook me yesterday


be good to see the route Maggot

Unfortunately, due to some overenthusiastic paying of bills earlier this month, I don't think I have the required funds to make my bike roadworthy until next payday, which is 4 days after this planned ride. Having to eat is such a PITA

 

[peanut]

yep no escape hahahaha

I've got lots of bike bits spare what do you need to finish your bike off. We could have a pre -ride techy session and build your bike

 

[peanut]

Er OK, this is looking good isn't it?

As we are definitely going to do this I shall post a more accurate route plan up for discussion,

As things stand then, we are looking at about 9.30-10ish at Highbridge train station, about 20-30 miles, at little above a snails pace, with at least 1 stop on the way round. Sound good?

User76 is this still on for Sunday week? have you got any idea of the route yet ? it would be nice to see where we will be going in advance.
Is there safe parking near the station?

 

[peanut]

Me !

You could use googlemaps to create a map like this

I'm looking less likely ... Mr Summerdays seems to have arranged to go and see his parents that weekend (we were meant to be going this weekend - we haven't seen them since before Christmas). I had to point out that we were committed to a wedding on the Sat.... which leaves the Sunday.

And to top it all... I came down with a cold overnight... coughing at the moment. And feeling sorry for myself.

If I don't make it I'm really sorry and would love to come on a future date if you aren't put off by drop-outs like me.

I should be there, might even manage to persuade Ms RT to come along. If I B&B it, I'll be staying in Cheddar the night before, so anyone who fancies a shedload of beer few pints is welcome to join me.

 

[radger]

I still can't say - I'd put me down as a no-show for now as I have finally got a physio appointment this week for my knees and I still have no front brake, tyres or inner tubes

 

[johnnyh]

Just wondering if it might be possible to start planning a ride for sometime after this one. (cause I feel kinda bad I cant be there)

Perhaps those that go could discuss it?

no excuses radger I've got a spare front brake caliper and tube I'm sure someone has a spare tube and tyre. Bring your bike along and we'll put it together at the station .It will only take 10 minutes .

 

[johnnyh]

Yes I might miss out on the cake, but I will be eating my own body weight in Thai food
