No, that's a question not a statement ..... Just thinking of those that may have to travel ...

Still a possibility for me depending on when. Looks like an interesting ride...although wouldn't I end up on the east coast and my car on the west, do I cycle back???

All meet in Brid, leave cars in long stay carpark, our mini bus takes us all over to the west and follows along as support. Fish and chips at Brid ...result

Would that include intermediate overnight stops or would it be a one hit.

Perhaps that’s only a result for anyone on the East?
Someone on the West would have to motor W to E once and E to W twice. Someone on the East motors E to W once.

According to Google the difference in Bristol to Lancaster or Bridlington is only 40miles, which is odd.....

It's all getting too difficult .... Let's just stick with the day trips ... Where ever they are Jules and will rock up ...

Probably due to some Google law of travel. The further away you are the closer it gets. I’m closer and the difference is 99 mls.

It's wet and windy today so I've been web surfing.
I stumbled across a Lejog video just over an hour long and very entertaining.
It features fellow Wimp MickF giving route advice to a couple of riders and the ride itself.
I recommend it to everyone search u tube for Jo Saraya cycle Lejog
Watched this today and found it quite useful. Some ( a lot ?) of the route coincides with ours so was worth watching.

Watched that last night, enjoyed it.
Any more?
