Rides with a twist

[Chris S]

If I were an Organiser (does little bow, and doffs cap) I would want to weave some cunning thread or subject into my rides.

For example - I have a 200 route yet to be ridden that passes through Litcham, Flitcham and Hitcham.

I also have a route that basically goes from Eye in Norfolk to Eye in Cambridgeshire (and back) - which begs to be an event called "Eye to Eye".

[Salvatore]

There was a Northampton-Southampton-Northampton a few years ago, and I always thought a Black Isle - Isle of White Wight - Black Isle had something going for it.

[Pingu]

I devised a route that would go through Coupar Angus and Cupar, Fife called Super Duper Coupar Cupar Looper

Try saying that when you're pished....

Or after riding it

There's the Tye Green Challenge from Takeley, Essex that goes through Tye Green, Tye Green, Tye Green, Tye Green, Tye Green and Tye Green.

[Mr Larrington]

There's the Tye Green Challenge from Takeley, Essex that goes through Tye Green, Tye Green, Tye Green, Tye Green, Tye Green and Tye Green.

I wonder whether it goes through Matching Tye as well

As well as Matching Green, for a co-ordinated look?

I thought New Year's Green, High Easter, Cold Christmas and Christmas Common might be of interest...

That sounds a long way - and in the case of Christmas Common - hard work!

You need a strong Stokenchurch...

[Salvatore]

That sounds a long way -

Moscow* -  Bethlehem** - California*** - Moscow**** sounds a lot further.

* Cumbia
** S Wales (control on some of Dai Harris's events)
*** (Farm) Nottinghamshire (a control on the 1989 LEL)
**** Ayrshire

No. I thought I had a Bicester on Marlow Bottom after the WCW..

[clarion]

I always fancied a NWS approach, and was trying to work up a ride that started Upper Ramsbottom, and went via Clitheroe to Scunthorpe, trying to work in Shatton etc en route...

Via Penistone, I hope?

I had a "World Tour" that never left the UK plan back on ACF.   I think Egypt is just South of London.  I'll have to hunt out the old list.

Sigh.

You lot would make a very appreciative Good Old Days audience.

Hey you could also take in Pennsylvania too (nr Bath) and don't forget to call in near me in Palestine (Hants).

You can find ideas in the Rude Places list.  "by Me, Simon, Piers and some other morons."

Egypt is near Slough/Farnham Royal I think.

[Mr Larrington]

There's one in Cornwall: clicky

[Greenbank]

Streetmap.co.uk is best for searching for this kind of thing.

It shows 5 Egypts:

Aberdeenshire, Calderdale, Hampshire (near Sutton Sconey), Bucks (near Farnham) and one on the outskirts of Bradford.

Marlborough Connection 200

This is a genius title, as it does exactly what it says on the tin.
