Baggy has just reminded me that a Holme Moss by moonlight ride would be good as it never got off the ground last year.

How long/hard is it?

Route?

Can anyone play?

Ah, are you planning to set up your tent on the verge outside the Highland park distillery then?:tongue:

Mind you, the day I cycled when I was up there, the headwind (for all but 500yards of a circular ride) meant I could probably have taken three weeks to do 50 miles....

Only if they have a decent shower and toilet block.

Just realised that its not going to be as good as France because there will be a distinct lack of cake. :laugh:

30 miles with a couple of hills.
- check elevation profile for hillage details.

Anyone can play :smile:

Unless your name is Hilldodger :biggrin:

You lot are very organised. I haven't given it much thought yet. I'd like to do a LEJoG but I may not be able to due to Mrs 26x25's commitments. :sad:

What I will be doing for sure is getting lots of rides in whenever I can. :tongue:

any date for this yet Mr L?

for the OP, am planning some roughstuff touring in the Scottish Borders, wild camping where possible viz. away from camping neds :biggrin: and sitka spruce plantations :tongue:, getting lungfuls of that great air, miles of space and avoiding the logging/quarry artics zooming down the roads :sad: and wild swimming (boy I do love a swim, especially after a long hot sweaty day in the saddle)

Don't know yet. Might just ride from home, go across to Wales, ride around a bit and then ride home. I'll plan when to go and do the rest of the planning as I go, depending on how I feel.

Haven't really got a good bike for touring at the moment, perhaps beam rack with stuffsack bungeed to it and travel light. I could get a rack on the fixed, but I don't fancy the descents. F*** it, got me thinking about it anyway. Good thread.

Plus maybe this summer I'll do another short off-road tour on the 'cross bike. Nice that is.

I've got a few sportives in mind, Chesh Cat, one up Bolton Way, Cycle Chat rides..., and few club 10's this year. May even join a club again.
