PTW

Good meeting tonight. well done Dave Smith.

An interesting cross section of club members showing early interest augurs well for a good ride !!!

Who else is interested ?

Yes, I'm interested, but sorry I couldn't make the meeting.

Nothing set in tablets of stone yet. Some expressed reservations about riding through Cornwall on a Fri /Sat. personally I feel it will be busy whenever we go in the summer hols. The dates are definitely late July early August and the weather is going to be fantastic!.
I will be asking for deposits from those serious about going on the ride. We can then start planning and making some firm bookings.
Any comments get in touch.

So, what are the definite dates,David?. Most of the traffic is going to be going into Cornwall at that time of year,and we'll be going t'other way,

One week forward from "provisional dates" set at meeting . 1st day riding Friday 24th July return home on Monday 3rd Aug 2009. going with these dates. Who is coming with me.

Oh, go on then!

Just expand on that Dai. Are you saying drive down on the Thursday and start riding on the Friday or do what the Fat Jockeys did and drive down Friday and also do a few hours riding on the Friday afternoon/early evening??

I know it would be an extra nights accommodation but driving down thurs evening staying over night on thurs would give us chance to make the first two days of about 80 miles per day. A good start. If not a very early departure from PT on the friday.

you up for doing it on your single speed road bike?

For a bit of fun I thought I would ask Google Maps about the walking route from LE to JoG, and it came up with this:
http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=d&saddr=A30&daddr=john+o+groats&hl=en&geocode=FRvz-wIdrwKp_w%3B&mra=ls&dirflg=w&sll=56.304349,-2.768555&sspn=8.137917,19.775391&ie=UTF8&ll=53.252069,-5.756836&spn=17.584046,39.550781&z=5
To my amazement it suggests taking no less than five ferries, and going via France, Republic of Ireland, Isle of Man and Belfast!

Is it just you and I then Dai?

Martin Edwards,
CJ,
Mark (from Maesteg)
Russel Ley
Ian Davies -thinking about changing one of his many Hols ( is he a teacher?)to come
Me

Any others please add to the list. 10 would be a great number. Could hire a nice mini bus and take out the rear seats for the bikes toget them down to Land's End.

Might be an idea to arrange a meet, have got a few ideas on transport,definite driver(if you want him) and digs.

I would ask for a deposit off those wishing to go. At least that way you know who is really committing themselves.

I thought we had a list from the meeting.
