Just got the bike case and it is huge https://www.probikekit.co.uk/cyclin...gclsrc=aw.ds&dclid=CISV4PXhrdsCFQOdsgodQAYGnA.
The damn thing weighs 18 kg, so only 12 kg for bike and tools (Ryanair 30 kg bike case limit).
My back is a little fragile, so really have to take care when handling this monster.

I going by train from Stansted to Peterborough - I hope I don't have to take some kind of special action regarding the bike. Couldn't find any info about bike case and trains.

See you in Peterborough Lars. Are you planning on meeting up with the group on Sat evening?

You should be fine Lars. Trains can get crowded but they are pretty frequent

I think Randy is there earlier Sat, so my plan is to meet up with him and take it from there.
I'm staying at the Park Inn Radisson (https://www.parkinn.co.uk/hotel-peterborough).

 

[CXRAndy]

Is that the one Bob has booked?

There's still time to sign up for the DD It's not until 24th June. The Welsh hills will be nothing compared to the rides you do north of the border I need someone's wheel to suck

Thanks for the invite McWhortface but.... ive kinda found my limit in recent years,. I can do centuries and I can do hills.. but not at the same time. I did the Tour de Yorkshire this year - no where near as long as your welsh odyssey and at only 8000 ft... I wouldn’t even be able to follow your tyre tracks even if they were wet.. I think you are all super-human-stars.

I wish I could learn my limit! I have to make myself ill, or crash, before I learn
