Excellent, I'll start with 71" with 67" on the other side.
I'm starting with a 70" but I'm going well at the moment (100 miles in 5 hours the other day) and have thought about going up to a 74" with a 66" free-wheel get out. But that requires spending even more money on bikes, which I'm getting kind of tired with!
Oh! You are going well. I saw lots of your rear wheel on the Dean. I can fell more of the same coming on.
Are you doing the 2004 or the Scenic? I am doing the 2004. BC tomorrow - lets see if I can get round by mid-night. Winds should be light and temperatrure cool - so just about perfect. Ok maybe some drizzle near the end but you cannot have everything.
And this other point you mention. How can you ever get sick of spending money on bikes? This does not compute!
Really looking forward to doing the BCM, not done an Audax since the dean and for that reason and that this is my first ride over 300 I intend to see other people's rear wheels on the Scenic route. Always prefer to go the scenic route
And I really have spent a lot of money on bikes, bike clothes, bike events, bike food, bike camping, bike books, bikes tyres
(the list goes on) over the last 12 months. It really has been the year of the bike for me. I'd
(and my wife) would like to spend money on other things... like buying a house for example! Problem being we can't ride a house round the country.
On a slightly different note, does anyone have the postcode of where the BCM starts, I don't seem to have it with my route sheet... that's unless I'm being blind.
