LEE, Chillmoister, Keeks and I are riding the Brevet Cymru on the 30th. So if someone can drop the baton off at the Bulwark community centre very early on a Saturday morning (6AM start) or at the pub in Aust at some point the night before we should also be up for a nice gentle South Wales loop.
Of course we could pass the baton between different yacf riders throughout the ride. With a documented handover pic each time. The possibilities are endless
That's a nice idea.
I'm taking it up to Mal Volio's tomorrow, then he's going to ride the Brevet Cymru route early next week as a helper/route checker. One of the BC riders staying at MV Towers on Friday night next week could bring it down to the start.
The question of what happens after the ride needs to be addressed given that it can't travel by car. If it were to find it's way back up to MV towers on the sunday, that would be good as we can hand it on to the valleys contingent. It isn't allowed back into England before it's done the Bryan Chapman!
If it goes on the Bryan Chapman there are quite a few yACFers who it could be passed to on the route. Basil could ride out to a control to collect it, I could take it and leave it in Menai Bridge on my way round, RevRob lives on route (he's moved, but is now elsewhere on the route).
I think the eastern members should get a go, but one person taking it from the west coast to east coast defeats the object of a relay somewhat.
