[Closed] Got any tours planned?

Bit of a mini-tour, but I reckon it's on for next week....

Fort William - Fort Augustus - Corrieyairack - Laggan - Kingussie - Feshie Bridge - Aviemore - Grantown - Speyside - Buckie.

I might do my "round the world" ride again in October 😉

When do you head off for yours?

if we had been heading your way like normal, we could have joined you.

we are off on saturday....i am having to take the electric bike for the hills.
it weighs 52lbs with the luggage. 😆

Have you seen the new Cube leccy bikes???

that is very nice.
went to see my consultant yesterday, leccy bikes may be a permanent feature.
the cube could be a possible addition in the future. 🙁

talking about a bit of a yorkshire dales/lakes tour next year. Can't wait.

Heading off in a few weeks for a 3-4 week tour with the bf. Probably touring Spain. Just ordered new frame for the trip last night 😀

Had an 11 day trek through Knoydart and up to Glen Cannich planned, but a last minute trip to Vancouver has eaten into holiday time (no complaints! 8) ) so I'm just doing four days in Lochaber, Spean Bridge to Glen Nevis over the Grey Corris and Nevis, then hopefully over to Kinlochleven over two of the three most northern Mamores. Haven't planned further than that 😀

Planning lots of cycle trips at the moment but not finding the time for them 🙁

Friday.

Overnight mini-tour to the in-laws. Riding straight from work. campsite half way and then finish for lunch sat.

Singlespeed road bike, lightweight tent and sleeping bag.

Nicolai are doing a new leccy bike, not sure if it will see production, though if you ask them nicely I'm sure they could knock one up.

I have a small tour of africa coming up, then hopefully of to whistler for next summer, then hopefully a ski season in 2012

Next summer - Lhasa to Kathmandu.

Yeah, Tour of Lombardy

talking to my brother about doing a camping trip across dartmoor (up to down,left to right or something like that)stopping off at as many pubs as possible inc the drewe arms most likly to happen next may!!

ton - how did you get on at the hospital then?

Everyone else - I'm dead jealous of your adventures, especially the Scottish ones.

As always, I have loads of ideas for mini-adventurettes but still sadly lacking in stamina and fitness. 🙁

Managed my first 100 mile day mid-tour round the east of Englandshire, and a (sorry on foot ...) tour round Mont Blanc

Deferred, but to be done next year and / or the year after - from the Channel to the Med across France, and the TransAm

Oh, and would love to do more touring in Scotland, and still want to cycle the circumference of Wales ... too much planning and not enough holiday time!

My forthcoming definites (unless injuries dictate otherwise) are..

January: [url= http://www.bearbonesbikepacking.co.uk/pages/news.html ]Mach 'n' Back[/url]

May: Welsh Ride Thing

June or September: Tour Mont Blanc (ultralite bivi/mountain hut)

We're also doing a winter off road Trans-Dartmoor overnighter sometime this year.
Okehampton to home with a night under the stars halfway 🙂

If I get the chance then I might try for a road trip from Santander to Roscoff next year but I'll be needing to build up my domestic brownie points to an almost unfeasible level to pull that one off as well as the above.

Oh poor f***ing you!!
I hate you Druidh. 😉

After a drunken chat in the pub a mate and I are tentatively planning a week long tour of the breweries of East Anglia, staying in real ale pubs and diverting to the coast for fresh sea food whenever we can fit it in.

Planning seems to stop when we sober up, so need to go back to the pub and chivvy it along.....

^That sounds like the way to do EA! Wonderful idea!

This year has gone down the pan for me cycling wise but I'd like to do a one in lifetime trip one next year, something like Iceland interior has always appealed.

just did the woodcock st bees-robin hoods bay C2C route over the weekend and planning a road tour along the north yorks coast with the mrs in a few weeks too. will be in new zealand for the whole of november with a mate, not planned a route yet but we'll be on south island on/off road touring/trekking etc for a few weeks - looking forward to that one 🙂 anyone got any pointers for routes in NZ btw?

The Brick - we'd got as far as train from Nottingham to Norwich, up to Cromer, then try and work our way down to try and reach Adnams/Greene King.

Bit of a debate about diverting to Thetford, and whether we could "proper" off road on bikes set up for fast touring....then the week became 5 days, then 4 days.... 🙄

It was intended to be done in a couple of years, with a view to being a warm up for a tour of whisky distilleries for our 50th birthdays 😀

Best of all, MrsMCTD was actively encouraging us to practice with some tours around the Derbyshire real ale breweries - there's about 5 within 10 miles of home without even having to think too hard about it!

Just did a week on the mountain bike on Skye and Torridon, not strictly a tour though as I left the tent etc. at camping sites while I biked the technical stuff. Did Sligachan, Quiraing, Coulags loop, Bealach Na Ba.

Back home for a week in the bike shop, then off for a fortnight to Orkney (initially) on the road tourer, this Saturday coming.

Life is hard. Hardly have the time to post here I'm so busy cycling 😈

P.S. Druidh, the Corrieyairrack has been heavily sanitised by a top dressing of fine aggregrate, creating a fireroad surface that in my opinion is no longer worth visiting (as there are better trails elsewhere). Put it this way, a few weeks ago I cycled up the zig zags with no dabs. Take a road bike. Criminal.

Boooooooo! Really? I was looking forward to getting back up there are bashing down all the loose rocks on the way down to F.A. Although... is it now CX-able (as in, would it be fun to CX?)

me and a group of mates are setting of on a week long tour on saturday.
i have planned it around pubs recommended in the CAMRA handbook.

taking in the west pennines, south lakes, north pennines and yorkshire dales.
cant blinking wait............ 8)

It has always been doable on a crosser! - mind you, I can only type that with a straight face as someone who did it first on a hardtail with rigid Pace RC30 forks.

It is substantially ruined from a mountainbiking point of view. The plant was on the hill resurfacing the pass two weeks ago and seemed nearly finished. I can't understand how this all ties in with the Historic Monument status.

Waderider - a CX bike was one of my options 🙂

Last time I rode it was on a hardtail with fat tubeless tyres, it was brilliant, full throttle through all sorts of jumbled loose wet rocks 😀 R.I.P.
