Well done all and there was me thinking that the ride we did a few years ago to Weston-Super-Mare and back, was mad.

Re: Cape/Poncho
I wouldn't use one for cycling to work but I thought one might be okay for when I go away. I don't mind getting a bit wet but when I'm riding all day and camping I want to stay as dry as possible especially if it chucks it down all day. I have a waterproof jacket that's not too bad but rain gets in ...

Re: Cape/Poncho
Can you remember what the make of it was Pete?petemarshall wrote: ↑02 Apr 2019 18:51Used one often on tours, kept everything including bike and panniers dry
Also particularly good as portable toilets for women on the roadside.

Re: Hook of Holland to Central Switzerland (and on to Vienna)
Hello Barry, When I went through Luxembourg a few years back I followed the river Mosel for some way and it was very pleasant cycling and not boring. The cycle path was very good as well. I don't have the exact route I took any more but there are details of my trip on my site. I came through Switzer...

Have a good one Barry. Doubt i'll have got as far as Holland by the time you set off but you never know. Will you be going along the coastal route?

Hi, i haven't posted for a while but i'm back in the saddle and off on a tour again to France, Belgium and Holland. I set off on the 3rd June. I'm getting the train down to reading and then cycling to Portsmouth to get the overnight ferry to Le Havre. From Le Havre i'll be making my way to Bruges an...

I feel the same as you Tim. Just this morning i had a chap come past me bibbing his horn and he shouted something out the window. I was just merrily cycling along the Bristol Road heading up to Selly Oak where they are doing some road works. He seemed to be suggesting that i was riding too far out f...
Well i managed to get a message to my old friend via her brother who i found had a profile on facebook. He did say that she would be in touch but i have not heard a thing and have since been blocked on twitter. :( I know it has been a long time and people change but it has surprised and saddened me ...
Thanks George. I am keeping my fingers crossed. This old friend of mine is actually a she and registered on twitter back in Sept 2013. In that time she has only made 9 tweets which is why i don't think she is very active. I can only wait now and hope for the best. One last resort may be to phone the...
Hello,
By some miracle i have managed to find an old friend who is on LinkedIn. Does anyone know how i can contact a person on there without having to sign up to Premium.

Forgot to mention a date. It will be the 24th October, the night the clocks change. Neil, the George & Dragon have been penny pinching for years now, with no gratitude for the business that we have given them at a quiet time of the year, and this year they were pretty rude. Also they are only a few...

I regret not doing it a little bit. Looks like it would have been a long slog though. 20 years to complete the route, blimey !. Next. I think i'll just do the trip to Scotland that Phil is planning and maybe extend the trip by cycling home. Fancy doing Northern France and Holland again sometime and ...

Before it reached the cobbles he's been a bit unlucky the past few days. Wonder what happened to Contador today, looks like he was on a bad day as well.
