Has nobody answered?
I'm nothing to do with the organisation but rode it last year on my Bacchetta.
It was very well organised with a leader and a sweeper with two way radios and as the rider split at there various paces we all came back together at crucial junctions and the lunch stop..
Not sure how fast it was but we started together and finished together and cycleman was there and I'd guess he averages 8mph, or so.
HTH, if not it might be worth pm'ing Bottlemasher.

Hi, I am thinking of turning up on the day, but not knowing the area at all i have a question? How far is it to the coast, or probably more importantly, how far is the ride going to be?? And additionally, i note the mention that the pace will not be racing - but how fast (average) is the ride going to be?

Cheers

The ride is still on.

For those people who are camping

There is a beer festival happening
on the Friday and Saturday evening at one of the local pubs.

Transport can be arranged

Does the camping need to be booked in advance?  Will I be allowed to hold my head up if I arrive en voiture?

Hi Pd

I've had a look and we did book last year but the site isn't taking bookings 'til near the end of this month.
Arrive as you wish, personally I'll probably drive and I wouldn't be surprised if Bristol Baz doesn't as well; he did last year Big smile
I'll reply to your other mail as well.
All the best.

At the pace of sailing ships and bicycles.

I will think about it, I may take a day off work, ride out Saturday, camp then do the ride, camp then ride back on the Monday. Train not really feasible due to the route being a very long way round (thanks Mr Beeching). Or I may see if I can borrow a car.

Hi Lee
There will be a few of us camping at martineau rd. It's a nice little site and only a cyclepath from proper coffee at Sainsbury's. Some are cycling there, some arriving by train and I'm driving.
Last year we were four, but hoping for more this year because we are promoting this as our April camp on our Cycle Camp and Tour forum.
