Southampton fans cycling

[Dr Who?]

Hi all,

 

I am looking for serious cyclists to take on the challenge of cycling from Southampton to Sunderland all 316 miles (could be more or less having to find a suitable cycling route), for a charity of your choice.

 

This would be a 3 day cycle event, Friday/Saturday/Sunday.

 

Day 1 - set out about 9am for 9 hour cycle to Royston, where I have accommodation for (4 people). (115 miles)

 

Day 2 - set out from Royston 7am, where we will try and get 12 hours in and 135 more miles on the clock (end of day two 250 miles)

 

Day 3 - just the 70 odd miles in 6 or 7 hours, and arrive for kick off.

 

I think this would be an amazing thing to do, and I do not really want to do it on my own. As I said you would have to be a serious cyclist who is up for a very hard challenge, and then to watch Saints.

 

After the game, my wife will drive us all back to Royston, after meeting us up there for the game. We have a 7 seater. So ideally I am looking for 5 others, but if there are more then I have family in Royston with spare rooms, and you could arrange travel back.

 

Also need someone to help with the route.

 

So who is up for his challenge?

It's getting to that time of year. My shoulder is just about recovered. 4 weeks until this

60 miles up and down. Like to get out on the road more though. Getting bored with hours on the turbo but weather has just been bollux.

Next door neighbour is doing this.

One day. It's on the list, but I don't think the shoulder is quite strong enough to cope with the descents off the Glandon and Galibier/Lauteret.

Just signed me and mrs dr.who up for the New Forest sportive in April, and looking forward to it. Not been able to get out on the bike, but been on the exercise bike plenty.

Doc hope you were able to this last weekend. Shame the second one on Sunday was cancelled due to the rain. Sunday was actually a pleasant day in Berkshire. Concerned that mindless inbred ****wits felt it was OK to attempt to sabotage the event, removing signs and spreading tacks on the road.

Some of the comments on the Echo site beggar belief. Having hit the deck on a bike and been quite severely injured the actions of these mongs are just criminal. Dr Julian Lewis MP has a lot to answer for.
