    I'm a bit tied up in August so that's my only summer date. After the w/e of the 18/19th August, the next time I'm free is 15/16th September.

    Any good for anyone???

    Bugger! Not for me I'm afraid, I'm in the south of France cycling up and down canal paths in between eating to much and getting drunk.

    Aye, looking forward to it too.

    I'm disappointed that I can't go on the date you have booked, maybe another time if you do it again?

    Enjoy the trip, I wish I could go. I did square it with the enemy, before I realised the date clashed.

    Definitely interested in this, but can't commit to those dates until 18th June unfortunately. That's the day fixtures get released for the 2012/13 football season - and 18th August is the first day of that.

    As a season ticket holder I don't really want to miss out on the possibility of a big fixture to open the season. Sorry!

    Dates in mid September may now be possible - how does that sound to those who were interested?

    Hi guys,

    This is something I'd be very interested in. Currently the only day I cannot do in September is the 21st.

    Done it a couple of times now, 2010, 300 miles in 3 days and 2011 400 miles in 4 days.

    Anyone not doing this year but wants to do one next year, then I'll be organising one for 2013, 4 days, 400 miles.

    Check out http://www.velonuts.co.uk

    Next years event is likely to be around the last week of June.

    Send me a PM with your email address and I'll let you know when things start to plan.

    That's perfect!
    I was actually gonna start couple days earlier. After that I want to continue to Marseilles. Anyone wants to go from London through Paris to Marseilles?

    You're a bit behind the curve here...
  • Hi all, I'm very keen to do this and am pretty flexible on dates.
    I've lost track on this thread, how many people is it likely to be going ?

    rodgers73 Posts: 2,626
    At the moment it looks like Velotone and Chaos75 are interested but still waiting for confirmation...
  • Ok, I'll keep an eye on this then.
    Just had a thought. Will you riding tourers?
