Me and ross and a couple of people have talked about this induvidualy, I've been in contact with dublin.. give me your email and we can discuss it and I'll pass on what I've got from them and my own ideas. I've been meaning to sit down and discuss this over a pint with you anyways.
Cheers Boss, maybe a usergroup here for organising this? It's gonna be a big event.
Wondering whats going on with this because I'm kind of responsible for the idea in the first place (Basel). I'm probably back in the Northern hemisphere April, so should be able to help a bit. Has the LBMA got anything to do with it? I'd suggest that because of a likely high alleycat content for the event it shouldn't be but that a Rollapaluza and or sossidges on the same weekend could work well. Chris + Co. parties also good idea and the longest kid seem to be behind it, mostly a case of co-ordinating everything. And sorting out housing. As far as racing to Hollyhead, it needs to be a format that allows a bunch just to ride it too. I can probably find quite a bit of floorspace in Bristol and could throw an Alleycat there (if anyones got any energy left). Its 120 miles from London so would be a big push for one day though. Catch a train to Reading or Swindon and start from there maybe? Riding out of London with a big gaggle of muppets would be fun though.. Are there still couriers in Cardiff?? Can they put a race on? We'll need a support vehicle or two. Whats the dates..? Dublins Aug 3rd-7th.
So I saw on the mail list that the events still on and some other people asking about the race to the ferry. Is anything going on with that? Having had a look at a map I now realise that Holyhead is in North Wales and I was thinking of Fishguard, which if we rode to there would involve a ride up the Irish coast after the boat ride, which might be alright. Who are you Superfraggle, have you done anything and do you want me to do anything? I'm likely to be over west for a bit immediately after I get back (well seeing as I'll land in London just before Easter right after Herne Hill for Good Friday) So i could get started on finding accomodation and trying to remember where the hills are in Bristol so I can put checkpoints at the top of em. I think this route would be alright Wiltshire and South Wales all being good riding terrain although I know nothing about Rosslaire to Dublin. Oh yeah and two weeks today we start the Cannonball run from Sydney to Melbourne 1050k no support fixed ow
