Decent 2 Day Charity ride or similar

t4tomo

Hi there, me & the Mrs fancy doing a 2 day charity ride (on an Tandem). Can anyone recommned one.

We did London to Brighton a couple of years ago and whilst it was fun it was far to crowded getting out of London. Liek the idea of ridiing with like minded souls, but not that many! So we could opt for one of the many other decent 1 day ridesthat are less crowded but fancy something a touch more ambitious. C2C or Roses Way are a touch long given logistics at either end / time off work / getting kids looked after whilst we do it.

Ideally a circularish route, as transporting the tandam by public transport is a bit of a bitch, but I can get it into the trusty Volvo estate. Alternatively its the old drop it at the start, drive to the finish and get the train back to the start the day before the ride, hence nearer the start is to the finish and ideally not too far from London the better.

Thanks

Not sure if this would suit

Starts from Stratford E15 and ends at Stratford Upon Avon with an overnight stop in Hemel Hempstead.

I wonder if you could drop your car in Stratford Upon Avon, get the coach down and then ride back to your car?

sounds promising, can't see exact route but looks like it will pass very close to my house and the inlaws. As the first day is only 35 miles could probably ride home to start and back to Hemel.

thanks

Bournemouth to Brighton, it's 2x 70 miles. You can be transported back to Bournemouth on Sunday evening, if required.

Bit of a drive for you to get there, but a stunning route.

well we have our 12 hour charity ride at Mallory Park.

May not be a 2 day but you can camp over the night before and ride for up to 12 hours if you like.

This was revitalised last year after a bit of a break. Was once the must do cycle over here.
Reports on last year were good.
