Lejog for wimps please- or am I on my own? ( merged )

[sbcoombs]

5 weeks. That gives me a deadline to get back on the bike.

[KFT]

looking forward to this - it'll be nice to meet up again and also to see another part of the country

[Nickeveson]

I so wish that I lived further up the country.....these meets are a bloody long way from me and I wish I could get more time off work!

Today's task is changing the wheels on my Galaxy from Dawes own to Quando.....a much better wheel

[landsurfer]

Organise one for Jan - Feb, Nick and we'll come to you.

[Nickeveson]

I may well do that.

Wheels fitted.....next choice......Schrader or Presta. Thinking Presta but anyone know different?

Choice of tyres? I have gone for Schwalbe Road Cruiser but have Schwalbe Marathons on standby....thoughts please

[landsurfer]

The more rides we get together as a group as we get closer to the main event would be a good. I think ..
A monthly meet / ride Feb - May would be good for us all. ??
A pre main event group ride in the South West could be done on a shared transport basis .. and accommodated at ours in Redruth.

Just a thought ....

[Nickeveson]

I have a week booked in March.....will have my camper so a spare bed for one is available.....i have booked it to get some serious training in so more than happy to meet up

[flash]

Meeting up regularly would be good (especially for motivation). I'm hopefully off to visit my brother in Thailand for January (and poss a bit of Feb), but I'll be with you in spirit.....

[Nickeveson]

Not travelling to Thailand.....would cost a fortune in diesel! Lol

Well if you're not willing to compromise

[oldmanonabike]

Why not just one ride over two or three days? Way of the Roses springs to mind

[flash]

Nick, yea diesel costs would be high but I'm sure you wouldn't be missing anything......

[Nickeveson]

I hope that's the weather booked for our Lejog.....

I like the sound of that. WotR is a ride I have looked at a few times recently.

[flash]

That would be good. I may well be up for that (as long as it's not January, or part of February)...,,,
