Hi Guys (and Gals)
As you know my big bike ride this year has been postponed due to my 'Business' trip to India :-)
I had planned on doing it next year (2017) instead, and I mentioned it to Shaz.
She wants to do the Hadrians wall ride in 2017 (the ride we had pencilled in for last year, but didn't get round to)
I've had a quick look online and the ride reports all say that it is easier (less hilly) than the C2C we have already done.
So I think it has the makings of a good weekend.
I'm thinking early in the year possibly March or April (but not the bank holiday weekends)
3 day ride, camping. (the weather has been great in March/April for the last few years so I think camping will be Ok and the weather for the ride should be warm/dry as well)
Who's in?
If there is enough interest I'll sort the route and the overnight stops.
I'll even try and sort a support vehicle and driver if needed.
Let me know.
Also I'm going to ride Stretford to Anglesey again next year (This will be the 3rd Annual Manchester-Anglesey bike ride)
I know Shaz said 'never again' but since then she has said 'maybe' so I'm taking that as a definite yes,
Anyone else interested in that? dates will probably be similar to this year, Late June/ Early July.
As a prelude to that how about a test ride to Prestatyn? probably on a Saturday then stay over and drive home Sunday (Rent a caravan for the night?)
Maybe in May or around then?
Axe.

Hi Alex seen as I managed to duck out of the last c2c you guys did with the was cop out of driving the van and the fact that you duly noted my offer of driving again was me wriggling out of cycling hadrians wall and clearly on your radar ;-) you better count me in buddy! Might need to change those tractor tyres on my bike though, let me know when the training is commencing? Thanks
ReplyDeleteHadrians Wall Sounds good

Hi Alex, my colleague at Salford Uni put me on to this. Is this an open invite or just for your pals? I was just thinking on my ride to work this morning that it was about time my touring bike had a decent outing. Regards Joe
