23 weeks before the gathering commences in Redruth for the WLEJOG.
Not long chaps .... not long at all....

I'm looking forward to it
. I just can't remember who we assigned to arrange good weather and following wind

Hi Guys, if you get the time go on YouTube and check out "John O Groats to Lands End bicycle ride 2016" posted by Jon E Poulter. It's so funny....he decide do wing it....getting lost in Scotland! Hopefully our ride is a bit more planned

Blinking marvellous! Mind I wonder how much back and forth he went just to set up the camera shots.
I'm guessing that must be Elgar statue at Hereford cathedral?
Do we need midge nets ?

I really need to talk travel, camping, day to day stuff..

+1
But my main concern at the moment - is which saddle to use.

I can't help you with saddle choice, I haven't decided which bike to use yet.
Regarding day to day stuff wasn't it decided everyone would do what I say unless I'm overruled by Jules

Jules is in full agreement with this. ...

Come Easter, which is early this year, the logistics "stake in the ground " will be hammered in and all transport timetables published.
Pickup times are not negotiable and for some there may be very early collection times ..... In my business we consider 4am to a reasonable start time ... So be warned ...

When I was a teenager there was a 4AM I often got home about then but the clocks were altered about 50 years ago nighttime now starts at 11pm then morning takes over at 7 AM There is no time in between

Early start is no problem.....

I can't believe I'm posting this!

As some know my daughter is studying performing arts in London. Her open day and show should have been the week after we finish. I've booked the two weeks off for Lejog and two days off to see her. However the week has now been brought forward a week. My wife has said I can do Lejog still but as I'm already doing Flanders at Easter and this will be the only opportunity we get to see our daughter perform this year I've decided I will have to back out of Wimps.

Very sorry everyone, I never thought I'd be the one to drop out!

[Nickeveson]

Gutted for you mate but can understand your reasons. Never give up....I truly believe that you will do it one day....

[flash]

Bugger....sorry you won't be with us..

[oldmanonabike]

I'm really sorry to hear that but I understand your priorities

[KFT]

Really sorry to hear this Softlips, but again totally understand the reasons.

[Paulatic]

That’s a b****r softlips I’m so sorry to hear it. I was really looking forward to you taking my wheel down the descents!

[cycleruk]

Sorry to loose you Softlips. You can always do E2E later but you will only get the one chance to see your daughter.
Good luck.

[sbcoombs]

Sorry you can’t the join us soft lips but family should come first. There will be other trips. Maybe you could join us for part of the trip.
