good luck dude, i'll text you during our rides this weekend whilst your slogging it out on tarmac in sunny bank holiday weekend traffic...

"hey sexyboobs, becca, mat, jo and me are having a picnic in the woods, just cracked out 20 beautiful miles of twisty swoopy singletrack and its gorgeous... chilling in the sun right now. hope you're enjoying the exhaust fumes :D"

that kinda thing 😈

Shame the route is nowhere near me, as you would have been welcome to a protein shake and some inappropriate sexual advances.

The Southern Yeti who?

Good luck and enjoy. 😆
If you get a bit lost or fancy a detour, I'm sure you could stay here a night or two. (Might live to regret that one).

nope, no where near, offer stands though if you detour

Gies a shout when you pass thru edinburgh. I'll put t'kettle on

[pedant]you will never find oakhampton. Its Okehampton.[/pedant]

Jamie I just checked and Ross-on-Wye is only 140miles from Cambridge. I'll look forward to seeing you in lycra 🙂

(toys I realised that, but the first route I put up had me staying in Gt Torrington still, that'd made me really lost)

UGH! i suppose as everyone else is i better bow to peer pressure and say:

if you fancy a detour then you're welcome to stay over at mine. but this time no forcing our bikes to have sex and stealing my tupperware!

See you in just over a week *can't wait* 😀

I'm not far from Market Drayton - happy to distribute Tequila and scotch eggs from the side of the road.

Good luck, your not coming my way but offer stands of kettle and sticky buns

See you in just over a week *can't wait*

I imagine the release of that particular sexual tension will register on the Richter Scale 8)

Jamie you come to meet me and there'll be a Tsunami 😯

iDave - got any tips for using this ride to drop a couple of % bodyfat?
Will Tequilla and scotch eggs of it?

Actually... I want to get by on local delicacies. Cornwall and Devon it's going to be pasties and scones, Easter Sunday I guess I'll eat chocolate.. what about other regions?

It'll cost you.

....more than you will ever know.

Muhahahahahahahahahahahah......*breathes*....hahahahahahahahaha.

I'm willing to give my pound of flesh!

Hope your not planning on riding on the A30 from Cornwall, a BAD road, take the coastal route, hilly but scenic and definitely safer.

Jamie, my coffee almost ended up on my keyboard when i read that.

Scotland = deep fat fried mars bars. Not that helpful for dropping bodyfat i'm afraid.

My native Staffordshire has delicious oatcakes, then come to my new home in chesire and see them spoiled with pumpkin seeds and fruit chutney. Sacralidge.

Oh, there better be pictures of this, unlike that fake Swinley ride that never happend.

You may well pass us on the way to Invergarry. If you fancy a stop/cuppa/drying room use give me a shout.

TS

i am in the Preston area if you need accomodation

Dude, you're SO doing it the wrong way. You'll be going uphill all the way - look on a map!

Good luck old son! Pop in on route and I'll service your bike whilst you sit in the hot-tub.

Here in Kent.

ourkidsam +1

why not get the train to skottlandshire and then freewheel back down to the sunny south?

he's doing it the right way - tail wind and a few days training before the big hills.

I'm in Market Drayton if you need anything 🙂

Thanks for the offers guys... you may live to regret them 🙂

Phil, I'm coming past yours on the way to that there London this evening, no need to feel left out!

ohhh what time you coming by and will you be wanting to stop in for a quick ten-rock of crack?

instant hit - we're thinking of riding through Cornwall on the southern side of the A30?

Phil - I've still got to pack the left pannier, or is it the right, so I might just have to fly on by. Smoke a rock for me though 🙂

A third here who at least works just outside Market Drayton. Pity out tearooms not officially open on tuesday i think, but let us know where you are passing through 😀

Does anyone live in Thurso, that can help me out with a bike sized box?

Apparently for the train journey back we've got to pack one of the bikes as they don't have spaces on the train for all of them.

Don't know the southern side so well, im in Devon and often ride down to the outlaws but alawys go along the coast. When i did JOGLE couple of years ago we went along the coast again, i reckon the hills in Devon and Cornwall definitley harder than anything in Scotalnd, ie very steep and short. (prepares flak jacket).
Have to say doing end to end was the best ride i have ever done, everybody should do it!! Ride, eat, sleep.
Enjoy it.

off to the kids play park and lunchtime to sell some H, anything left over i'll mainline in your honour 8)

🙄

You're not doing this with my brother are you?

Who's your brother?

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.
