Yep I'm on the coach !!!!

It'll be fun, and the rear of the coach will be seatless !!!

Like Caeraus' shorts

The coach does have a passageway up the middle, but there the similarity ends !!!

thanks this luxury event disguised as x-rated for easing my way into the realm of 600, no mean logistical feat!

My ACP number has landed for this on the AUK results page.

Time to get my entry for PBP in!

A slight change in the route for 2017 sees us using the Green Dragon in Welton as a control instead of the Morrisons petrol station.

I shall be tackling the difficult job of stamping brevet cards at the pub in Welton. That is, when not marrying anyone. The wedding is a lunchtime, but apart from that I'll be at the pub. Green Dragon - I believe.

Have you ever wondered what Long Distance Cyclists look like at 352km into a 600k? If so, join me at Corby Glen Lincolnshire on Saturday night 3rd June, into Sunday morning. We have about 80 cyclists to feed and bed down, and we'll adjourn to the nearby Little Chef for a Full English once everyone has gone and we've tidied up. Anyone fancy it?

I hope all these volunteers are security vetted.

Whitedown Man · « **Reply #239 on:** 16 May, 2017, 10:57:30 pm »

I'll happily turn a blind eye to security vetting and DBS checking just so long as there's a plentiful supply of carbs up for grabs as the FVRs roll into town

As there are no calendar 600s in Scotland this year, id have ridden this - were it not for the fact that Im organising a 400 which clashes.

Here's one for you folks who took the Western side of the Humber Bridge.

Turn the volume right up for full effect

A reminder of how it can be.

Only just! Rider number 79 (max number will be 80)

I won't be riding, Mike, if you need to free up spaces?

Delph Cyclist · « **Reply #246 on:** 22 May, 2017, 11:44:48 am »

I checked out some of the route for the Pair of Kirtons to find that there is a bridge closure between Kegworth and Donington. Not a problem, cyclists can still cross over the M1 then ride alongside the former dual carriageway (A453) to reach Donington Services. This busy road should be quiet at the time of day we'll be there! Harvester starts breakfast from 7am, and before that, it's Costa.

I've just been looking at the route for this ride and I got to wondering how many counties (old style)it goes through. I counted 7 - Cheshire, Lancashire, Yorkshire, Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, Staffordshire and Shropshire. Is this a record for a 600?

Whitedown Man · « **Reply #248 on:** 31 May, 2017, 12:33:45 pm »

Nine Counties (not running this year, but did in 2016) runs through (obvs) nine.

Wobbly · « **Reply #249 on:** 31 May, 2017, 01:29:45 pm »

Given my legendary navigational skills, I'll probably be riding through nine counties...
