As mentioned, if my plans come to fruition, I'll just be looking to make it to the end with a lower than 50% change of death due to my heart/lungs exploding from riding a stupid bike . |

When do we need to send these entry forms off then?
Also what are we picking as the ride start time? ____________________ 3516 Miles, 11 Countries |

Ok, well I'd really like to give this a crack but my means of getting there are a bit jaded at the mo.
My dad won't let me attach my bike to my bike to get it there and none of the people I ride with up here are up for it so I can't get a lift with anyone. I can't find a train company that will let me book super saver tickets this far in advance (cos I'm mega broke) and I highly doubt any bus service would let me take my bike with me.
This is all assuming that the kind offer from G extends to a roof over my head for a night or 2. So I'm a bit stuck really. Being unemployed at the moment isn't helping because I don't know what I'll be doing then anyway.
I'm tempted to just enter under team BCF anyway and see what happens though. ____________________ Now: '00 Kawasaki ZRX1100R - Past: '84 Yamaha DT125, '89 Kawasaki KLR600, '97 Yamaha XJ600N

Nearest megabus station to me is Liverpool which is 70 miles away and the Coach fares are double the train prices.
Sometimes I wish I could drive .
Maybe if I started cycling now I'd make it in time for the ride..... ____________________ Now: '00 Kawasaki ZRX1100R - Past: '84 Yamaha DT125, '89 Kawasaki KLR600, '97 Yamaha XJ600N

Just sorted my form: 9am start, BCF Racing, Club Challenge. Think I will go for the Brighton > Clapham Common bus in the afternoon as it's the only one that goes every half an hour (the others only go twice from what I can see) and I assume that's where it all starts anyway. ____________________ Photos and that |

Wave I might be able to lend you my dads bike. It's not the lightest thing in the world but it all works and has a reasonable number of gears etc. If you're interested I'll ask him.
G, you think we might be able to find a way back to London without using their bus service then? If so that would be ace. If it is doable then like you say we need to confirm it ASAP since if we use their bus we need to put that down on the entry form. ____________________ Photos and that |

Fantastic Korn. I won't bother with the bus thing, and will send out my form later today.
Wave, I just spoke to my dad and he says he's alright with it and that it's all ok etc. I'll take it for a spin tonight and make sure all the gears and brakes are good but it shouldn't be a problem. Hopefully Sparks will be ok with that going in the boot for the drive to/from London. ____________________ Photos and that |
