We tried this last September, and although the turnout was underwhelming, the ride was very successful.

Successful?
It was a cracking good night out

ETA ending with a cooked breakfast inna pub.more

Ho hum...

PS the Bikehike route doesn't seem to load.

Doesn't seem to work for me either. I've stuck a copy up on RidewithGPS here

I think it's a problem at their end, maybe temporary. I'll stick that in the OP for now.

ION: I've tweaked the route to remove the BCQ detour. BikeHike seems to be working again today.

Put me down as a possible please.

Have to see how to fit it in with a 200k Audax on the Sunday (from Bristol).

Do not be downhearted! It is reality which is at fault, not the arithmetic.

Spose I'd better sign up now so I have plenty of time to cancel my attendance for new and interesting reasons.

We're gonna need a bigger stone circle ! Kim, replot the route for Stonehenge !

CrinklyLion · « **Reply #42 on:** 15 January, 2013, 07:16:19 pm »

D'oh. Sorry, I have A Plan that night!

Actually, that's a good idea for the Summer......

Swindon to Avebury, then on to Stonehenge for sunrise and then on to Sailsbury. About 50 miles in total.

I could start a few hours ahead of the main group I if it helps Kim

NO!
... but if you could ride just in front and scatter light fittings to illuminate the way, that would be awesome

That's what they do on the Dun Run. Tealights in jars at junctions.... a nice touch.

Until the local oikery meddle with them, anyway.

I noticed they were using LEDs to mark the (slightly confusing) route through Sudbury last year.
