Dependant on sorting some transport out (don't think I can fit my mountain bike on the back of my motorbike *nudge* sparks ), I'm in. ____________________ Photos and that |

Maybe:-
KLR600
Why do I get the feeling this could turn into a who can wheelie a pushbike the best competition?
I suggest everyone sends off for their entry forms ASAP then fill out all they can (not the team part yet) and wait until the 15th of Jan when all the team stuff should be sorted.
Anyone else coming? ____________________ Pictorgraphicalfantastical |

If anyone is willing to give me a lift from the North Wales area I'm definatley up for it otherwise I can't really get down because I can't drive and I havn't found any good ways of getting a pushbike on the back of a motorbike yet. ____________________ Now: '00 Kawasaki ZRX1100R - Past: '84 Yamaha DT125, '89 Kawasaki KLR600, '97 Yamaha XJ600N

Erm, can you not just download the entry form from the website .
I downloaded, printed off, started filling in then came to the team bit and thought 'ah team'.
I was thinking that we could maybe smile nicely at someone to follow us in the van, though of course that wouldn't be able to take all the people, but would take the bikes. |

I'm sure you can get a push bike on the back of a klr .
If you can get to Reading by train and if I'm taking the van you can at least stick ya' bike in there.
Or convince someone from your way to do it . |

I doubt you will, and I doubt I will either.
So I've put a post-it note on my screen and bookmarked the page. Yes I have seriously done that. ____________________ Pictorgraphicalfantastical |

Any suggestions how? I quite fancy this team BCF malarkey .
I thought of using one of those metal frame rucksacks and clamping the frame to it and sticking the wheels on the bike somewhere but I doubt that would be too comfortable on a 230 mile ride to Reading at 2am! |
You're welcome to come down the night before and stay here.
Once you've got the wheels off, you might just be able to have the frame sticking off the back off the bike and on the back of the seat.
Then just put the wheels on top.
Alernatively, you could have it secured to the side of the bike, vertically, then with the wheels secured to the otherside.
Previously I've taken the wheels off and attached to the frame with bungies to get on busses which don't allow bikes.
byke.
The transport they offer should include your push bike I believe.
Team name will be 'BCF Racing' presuming everyone is ok with this?
Team Leader: 'Dave Giffould'.
If anyone hasn't seen it, there is an entry fee, not too cheap at £24, but this goes just to the cost of organising the event, rather than to the charity it's self.
As mentioned, if anyone can get their bike to mine, hopefully I can at least get the bike to London. If we smile very nicely at some other Reading clique members we could possible blag a car driven down to take people as well - or if anyone's got insurance to drive other cars, they can take mine.
Oh and;

Look at some of the injuries pro cyclists get - and you'll see why wearing leathers for doing 50mph is a good idea . |

All sounds good to me. I'll make sure I get my application off by the 10th when it is all confirmed. I'll probably drive down to Clapham and then try and get their transport back to Clapham from Brighton. ____________________ My bike |

Just to make sure, are there any competitive heros amongst us?
I'll be looking to take my time, enjoy the summer sunshine ( ), mess about a little bit and have some fun so I'm hoping there are no Lance Armstrongs coming along...
Do stops include pub stops? |
