2024 Subscriptions Darryl Gunson Posted March 25, 2012 2024 Subscriptions Report Share Posted March 25, 2012 Hi All Can we have a show of hands as to who would like a bed at the YHA on the Saturday night before we ride the Fred route on the Sunday. I'll give it until Wednesday and then I'll ring the hostel. BTW if anyone can give me a lift, petrol money and beer on offer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2024 Subscriptions Darryl Gunson Posted March 26, 2012 Author 2024 Subscriptions Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 That's only three of us! If people have had a change of heart, and it would be understandable given all the outings we are having with the strain this can put domestic life under, then we could always do it later in the year and do the 200k Audax from Gourock that Campbell posted. Rivers Lochs and Glens 200km SEE LINK - http://www.aukweb.net/events/detail/12-169/ Distance: 200 km Date: Sunday 29th April 2012 Time: 08:00 Starting from: Gourock Fee: £8.50 ( £8.50 when paying via PayPal. ) Closing date:24 Apr 2012 Sunrises: 05:41 BST Sunsets: 20:54 BST Organiser: Robert Mccready Body: Inverclyde Velo Address: 4 Mccallum Crescent Gourock Scotland PA19 1PY The route is familiar. http://www.bikely.com/maps/bike-path/Ri ... lens-200km Views?

Guest Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 Could do the audax. Rode the route myself last year plus an extra 15 miles when I got lost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2024 Subscriptions Darryl Gunson Posted March 28, 2012 Author 2024 Subscriptions Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 Apologies to Al, Mark, Dave, Billy and Charlie, Despite being keen to do this I'm now going to have to withdraw. I would consider doing it later in the year, but April/May is too cramped for me to have a night away for this. The hostel is http://www.yha.org.uk/hostel/coniston-holly-how If you do decide to postpone but are looking for a hard ride as prep for Italy, then consider the Audax. I might do that instead. Cheers Darryl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavieB Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 Given dwindling numbers (and the seemingly ever more punishing Monday to Friday grind) I would vote for audax or similar right now to give at least one day's complete R & R at the weekend. Glen Lyon away day - if nice? Al - I'll explain the comment re. the daily grind later D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions Tom Hill Posted March 28, 2012 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 Â Re: Fred Witton Challenge 28/9 April Could do the audax. Rode the route myself last year plus an extra 15 miles when I got lost. George Fany a ronde de vlanderen then Addax is a possibility for me too.

al yuille Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 Men or mice ? Charlie, Billy ? It's a lovely walk up Hardknot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions charlie p Posted March 29, 2012 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 Wow how did I miss this probably cos u posted in audax section and I did not want to see all your Italian banter. any way I 'm easy but as it was darryl's shout feel we should postpone till he can do. Davie b's idea sounds good and Al unlike some I have still to find a hill I cannae cycle up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
