[LEL17] Bike storage around Loughton/Buckhurst Hill after finish?

[swimberg]

Hi all,

After finishing the ride, I am planning on taking a week to go back up to Scotland to see some of the sights I may have missed while in a sleep deprived, brain dead state on the bike.  I have to figure out what to do with my boxed bike while I am galavanting across the Scottish countryside, though.  My wife has a friend in Kent outside of London (I believe) where I can stash the bike, but I was wondering if anyone had any ideas about where to store it closer to Loughton.

I am staying at the Buckhurst Hill Premier Inn for a night after the finish, and I'll ask them if I can leave the bike box there for a week, but I'm not so sure they'll be into that.

Anyway, just thought I'd throw it out there and see if anyone had any ideas.

Cheers!
Steve

Join up to WarmShowers and ask some hosts who live in that region if they'll store the bike for you?

... or a local bikeshop.

Just book it in for something trivial like new brake blocks - they'll effectively be storing it for the price of 30mins labour 

[Sorry - I don't know anyone in the area. But the above is a semi-serious suggestion!]

Thanks for the ideas!
