The bottom line ... we need to ride together ...
but we're not ..

From my Pan Celtic fantasy to all the other variants on "rides we should do" ..

Lets just ride together, again !!

I've organised enough in the way of rides recently.... people, places and support ....

But.

I'm so worried the WIMPS will die away due to apathy ..

" Coast to coast ride in July ? Would love too but washing my hair that week ... !!!"
"Sorry can't do the ride in 8 months time as it may be my daughters parents evening ".

Can we not just get a 2 day ride together ..... anywhere, on road, off road, down dale, down hill ...

The WIMPS way .....

I'll do the logistics .... someone must be up for the route and accommodation ...

Tour de Bristol, 75 mile, 2 day event, Tarmaced Towpath 60, 2 day ???

Lets not let it the Wonder Wimps fade away.

I’m up for riding whatever, wherever. I’m rubbish at planning but happy to help organise a ride if I can...

Hi,
So what's happened to this big ride south your planning? Flash :)

P.S.hopefully in the next month, looking for good weather, I'll be setting off to Devon and Cornwall coast and boundaries, Self supporting camping in hedges.
Not sorted the course yet but it looks like something like 720 miles :) Self supporting camping in hedges.

I thought that Clitheroe area would perhaps suit but willing to travel anywhere.
Easy access to the area and fairly central.
Campsites, hotels and B&Bs available.
Riding can be hilly or not.

Always up for -
Coast to Coast. Way of the Roses etc or our own 2/3 nighter tour.
You'll never know if you don't try it.

Clitheroe would be OK. But Coast to coast would be perfect. It’s on my bucket list....

I’m doing the Seascale to Whitby coast to coast in one day at the end of the month. Think it’s around 155 miles (and has an incline or two).
