You can do it without starting a new thread.

Bottom left of any page of the thread.

You'll see two links: "Remove Topic" and "Link to Calendar"

(Note that everyone can see the "Link to Calendar" option, but only the originator of the thread can use it.

[Si]

Thanks greenbank...should be linked now!

Well, it will be at a gentle pace and much regrouping at the top of the hills (if one can call them that), if that's any help.

That's some help. More helpful still would be someone to peel me off the machine at any stops. Or a large car park, so I can just keep going during breaks as it seems to hurt most when I stop.

Or maybe some sort of wedge that I could just ride into?

Actually, it's not that bad. I've found that it seems to be worse the day after any cycling, but I am slowly on the mend (and I'm reminded that I had better be fit for DPR anyway).

I have the perfect remedy.

Don't stop. Just keep going. I'll tag along with you. I promise. I don't ride that fast on a Dahon.  

[Luke]

I think I should be able to make this.

Dahon or raleigh twenty then? 

[Dave]

As I now have a suitable bike, I'm very up for this.

[rower40]

Now that I have diary next to computer, I'm up for this.  Brum, you say?  I haven't anything funnier than the 'bent that I did FNRttC on, but it's strange enough compared to the usual BSOs.

I've never had any problems getting it onto trains between Derby and Birmingham; the guards are usually laughing at it too much to refuse.

[MSeries]

Mebbees, what time are you starting at and what time do you think it'll be back ? So'st I can plans trains like.

[Si]

I was thinking of meeting from 10am for a 10:30 start.  Getting back is a little difficult to judge- mid afternoon probably but the eatery is only around 11miles from the start so you can nip back early if you need to.

[Si]

Have stuck some updated details on the original post on this thread.

[border-rider]

Maybe...


onna trike

proposed route added to bikely (see OP)

[tonycollinet]

Is there anyone else eying this ride up, who doesn't own a funny bike? I'd hate to be the only one if I came along.

Put a big red nose on the front of your bike.   

[Chris N]

My bike isn't funny, just a little odd.

[Si]

As it's only 2 and a bit weeks away and I may be away for much of the time from next Monday until the Thursday before, could I ask if people can give some notiication of whether or not they are still planning on coming, so as I can let the feeding hole know the numbers in plenty of time, etc?

And remember, although the theme is a funny bike ride we won't turn away anyone on a 'standard' bike who'd like to come (fancy dress is optional)

cheers 

[border-rider]

I'm out

We're having a Farm-warming/BBQ that day.

[TimO]

I'm not going to be able to make it, since I'd have to leave at something like 5am, change trains at least 4 times, and it would cost me over £60.

[rower40]

I'm in.  Recumbent-on-East-Midlands-Trains-permitting.  Feel free to refuse me if my acceptance has put everyone else off, and you get no other takers.
