    I’ve got a week off to take. Won;t have money to go away but will be able to ride mon-friday.

    What would you do? I’m based in southampton so no week long trips to the highlands.

    I have ‘all’ the bikes availble. MTB/ Road/ Gravel/ BMX

    what no money at all?
    camping trip with bike to france?
    cycle along the south coast staying in YHAs?
    cycle north staying in YHAs and get the train back.

    A trip to France would be at the top of my list, going as a foot passenger on a ferry with a bike is pennies.

    I’d pack some bags with food, clothes, and sleeping arrangements, plot a loop* to occupy me for 3 days**, and go for a ride*** 🙂

    * preferably to explore places I’ve not yet been to
    ** gives you a buffer for either deliberate or forced extension
    *** be daring, use the BMX 😉

    lets say i’ve got £50 for the week. including trains, cafes etc. .

    *** be daring, use the BMX

    i think will, but maybe not for a 2 day trip. I don’t even ride it 2 miles to the bmx track and back!!

    maybe i should aim to ride all 8 bikes. although one bike is permanent on the turbo…

    Sell one of the 8 bikes and ride one of the other bikes properly. Get yourself to France.

    £50 for a week!
    Ride everyday from the door on boring local loops that you’ve ridden a hundred times and spend a tenner on a pub lunch.
    OR
    use your overdraft or get a credit card and get yourself away, yolo 😀
