Yes, interested but diary is quite restricted but may be possibilities for late September, did you have any dates in mind?

GPS · « **Reply #127 on:** 13 July, 2017, 01:01:44 pm »

Late Sept looks good - how about the 22nd/23rd ?

I was thinking of riding down there & back to Bristol which would make it a 600 but I'd be happy to meet at the start in Poole.

Oooo... ok! I had already vaguely planned to diy this route at some point after LEL. Late September sounds good

GPS · « **Reply #130 on:** 14 July, 2017, 08:22:25 am »

Excellent

So that makes 3 - any other takers out there I wonder ... ?

Hi,
Sounds good to me... and diary is clear at the moment.
So if I can join you I will, although I don't expect you to wait for me though ;-).

does anyone have a gpx file? (I thought I had one, but I can't find it)

Should have the gpx from 2010. I'll check tomorrow.

Wot Andy said, especially the don't wait bit. I will probably never have Mille Pennines legs again

Shawn posted a Wuze link to the Wessex page upthread https://yacf.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=100317.25, Wessex page here http://www.wessexsr.talktalk.net/Wu'ze/. This appears to have all the GPX files and they upload to RWGPS and at first glance they seem okay but I don't like the look of stage 3

GPS · « **Reply #135 on:** 15 July, 2017, 10:59:10 am »

Excellent ! The more, the merrier

I was starting to stitch together some gpx files from some I downloaded from somewhere (I think you supplied some at some point, Paul - but it was so long ago I've forgotten when ...).

I was checking them against the supplied route sheet, but was hoping to use them just as a back-up and stick to using the route sheet. I'd like to have a go at riding it like we used to in the old days. I haven't ridden a ride that way in ages.

I won't be going to back to old style lighting, tyres and brakes though ...

The question now is, what time of day should we start? Back in 2010 it started at 1400 at Hamworthy Park. Same time & place for this attempt ??

Hi, I'm interested in this jolly outing. GPS, I live in Bristol and would be happy to ride down and back with you.

Top Man !

What does everyone think of the 2pm start time at the park in Hamworthy ? Cafe in the park where we finish Porkers might be a good spot to meet perhaps ?

Smeth · « **Reply #138 on:** 17 July, 2017, 09:46:31 am »

Sounds good. A place to wait with a cuppa if early.

Tentatively interested in this, depending on permission - will keep an eye on this thread, and let you know if I am able to ride

Smeth · « **Reply #140 on:** 21 August, 2017, 10:40:46 am »

Just a general check with folks - are we on? EDIT: for the Wu'ze group DIY? Tidying up September entries - thinking of Postie's 200 the day after anyway. Unlike GPS I won't be extending to make it a 700

I'm afraid it's looking very much like I'll be away that week now, so won't be able to make it.
Sorry.
Andrew.

GPS · « **Reply #142 on:** 24 August, 2017, 10:08:08 pm »

I'm out !

Bike issues ... guess I need to buy another one

Mr Reynholm · « **Reply #143 on:** 28 August, 2017, 09:17:25 pm »

Still a yes from me.

Smeth · « **Reply #144 on:** 28 August, 2017, 10:46:03 pm »

I'm now a provisional for this. Glad tidings on one hand, the youngest did well in the exams. Bad news is this is at one end of freshers week so I may end up involved somehow. Further bad news - no more +1s unless I un-retire

JonB · « **Reply #145 on:** 29 August, 2017, 12:56:33 pm »

Think it's going to be a no from me, September is now very busy and I think a local ride may be more manageable.

cgg · « **Reply #146 on:** 29 August, 2017, 02:05:51 pm »

My 22nd/23rd of September just cleared up so I'd be up for this. Is it still possible to join the party?

Mr Reynholm · « **Reply #147 on:** 15 September, 2017, 02:54:35 pm »

I'm gonna give this a miss for September. Possibly do it in October instead.
