How close to Bristol will you be going TSY?

It’s Okehampton not Oakhampton and Bridgwater not Bridgewater (but the place is a dump and I wouldn’t stay there), I don’t hold much hope for you when you can’t even spell the places you’re going to 😆

I was practicing typing with webbed fingers. Staying at a friends near Bridgwater.

Guessing very close Darcy… got to get over the river at some point. You coming out to play?

Oh, good luck my lovely, I’ll miss you * kisses*

Remember regular updates.

Yeti – I can post a couple of bike bags up to your final point if you wish. Just let me know.

And avoid the A49.

instanthit +1 the coast road past Newquay still gives me nightmares

27/04/2011 Preston.

I’m off next week so if you need a helping hand repair / accom / food wise give us a shout, mail in profile. Good luck.

Again thank you people, I love this place.

Bullheart, we’ve not got accomodation sorted for up there yet. If they’re isn’t an LBS I can track down to ponce a box off I’ll be in touch.

TOD – more than welcome to join us for a pootle if you’re bored?

emsz – I thought you were coming across to meet us, it’ll almost be May by then…. 😉

Will you be posting daily updates?
At least you’re going the right way with the wind behind you, even if it is all uphill to Scotland 😉
Good luck, imagine how fast and fit you’ll be by the JOG!

imagine how fastecked your knees and fit back you’will be by the JOG

Going to try but I’ve only got an old school phone style mobile 🙁

Thanks, but I’ve no road bike at the moment, and I’m off to Ae on Friday so I’ll be having a chilled week, but if you need help wit owt just give us an email.

Crikey someone could’ve mentioned that the hills are relentless in Cornwall and Devon, and that panniers are heavy.

On the plus side the extra weight makes breaking speed limits on descents a hell of a lot easier 🙂

Where are you this evening then?

About 35 miles south of you I think Darcy. Done 200 miles so far.

In Bridg(e)water?

FCOL Yeti get a move on, shouldn’t you be in Wales?? 😉

How are you?

I was thinking you’re running behind 😀

Oh, has his bike broken then?

Yeah, just North of there at a mates.

Not too bad C_G I’d advise a proper bike fitting though, and some rest before hand. One of my knees is buggered but has seemed better since I lowered my saddle this morning.

Hereford is my next stop now.

he’s doing it the right way – tail wind

On average. If only it wasn’t actually a N to NE wind forecast!

Good luck but do listen to your body!

Yeah, wind has been going the opposite way to us he whole time… character building innit!

I hope you didn’t breathe through your nose when you went through Bridgwater…

keep going offer still available if when you reach the proper north

Proper north? If he makes it this far I’ll offer a place to stay !

I will steal his helmet to prevent an argument 😉

And I was going to offer to polish his helmet for him

Ha, if I make it to Edinburgh I’m going to need someone to play nurse for me. Whilst I appreciate your professional credentials Jeremy I’m looking to recruit a female for this role.

Junky, you sure you don’t mind three lads turning up on your doorstep… some clothes washing facilities could be a real bonus… at least I can’t leave my other pair of lycra shorts behind I suppose.

Going to need a bike shop soon anyway. I’ve packed for the south… not the north. All my jerseys are SS, and now I hear you’re not even in double figure temps up in Scotland…. what’s that all about?

just to be certain this is on road or off road ?

respect either way but I’m hoping its off road

On road I’m afraid, but I’ll do it off road next year if that makes people happy 🙂

Lovely weather here in the Burg today. Bring your sun cream. Got a route in mind for the Carlisle-Edinburgh bit yet?

good work yeti. let me know if you’ll need tequila in market drayton.

*sulks*

I am an expert in repairing sore butts. Even hairy ones

I’m fully equipped for sun druidh… ideally in 20+ degs. Thinking of coming through Inners? Route planning is pretty haphazard if I’m honest, and changes with almost every mile.

Nice one iDave, is tequila a local speciality of Mkt Drayton? When in Rome and all that…

yes I can accommodate you all and have a washing machine. If any of you are 10 stone whippets I can lend cycling clothes merlin is near by and you can cycle past on your route

You might actually be a legend Junky, nice one. I’ll drop you a line… the amount of food we’ve been putting away there’s no chance of any of us hitting 10 stone though 😀

Think the sentence that best sums up the trip so far…

That assos arse stuff is **** magic

Any chance of an update?

Well he has not contacted me but if he does I am sure he will be on STW at some point today

I hope he went over the bridge.

I hope he went over[b]off[/b] the bridge.

🙂

Not really Yeti. Where are you? How’s your dodgy knee? How’s your arse? Does Junkyard need to lube up this evening?
