Nick Manning Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 I'm not sure what I can do now. I'm doing a demo in Glasgow on the 23rd, so will have to see what I can do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Dark Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 I've told 3 people I can give them a lift, I believe (Rich, Charlie, Alex(?)) which means I've got a car full, though that's more to keep track of numbers than anything - I'm sure we'll mix and match and I'll be taking other people on some legs.sweeeet, tis sizing up to be a good one any idea how much petty is going to be?

Luke Rainbird Posted July 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 For the entire trip up and back, around £20/25 or so I'd have thought, Alex.Roped another rider in for the last few stops earlier, welcome aboard Chudders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam Nichols Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 Everything's falling into place perfectly, all I need is for someone to pack my bag for me and I'm set Those of you who are doing the whole tour, how much roughly are you budgeting (monies) for it? I'm gonna be pretty tight, but should be fine. All that's on my mind at the moment is this tour!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke Rainbird Posted July 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 Bulk buy at Makro before we leave?! I'm having to cut it as cheap as I can, so it'll be interesting. Can't afford food = less booze needed = cheaper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Nichols Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 Haha, nice work! Glad to see you have your priorities right!I may have to budget a little more than money for food though, two pot noodles a day won't sustain me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam Nichols Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 (edited) Bulk buy at Makro before we leave?!I was thinking something along these lines. I'm thinking about living off sandwiches really.. they're pretty cheap. Loaf of bread + ham.. Easy.OH and i need money to pay the Grange for these forks of epic and win... Jon, pm me brotharrrrr!I wondered why my bike doesn't have any forks anymore.. Edited July 14, 2009 by nichols_sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Rainbird Posted July 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 Standard ride grub is usually something along the lines of a baguette and some cheese spread, comes to about a quid. Easy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Pearson Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 For anyone interested, I'll be doing Portsmouth onwards (am gonna just say f**k it and see what money is like closer to the time) so anyone wanting a lift from Pompey for the rest of the tour, give me a shout. Will be driving from Plymouth back up to London after the Plymouth ride.Wish I could make the whole thing, but looking forwards to it nontheless.Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Rainbird Posted July 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 Savage man, but fair play. Check out trains too, if it work out cheaper for you to train one way and hop in let me know.Gonna be slick boys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Scarlet Posted July 19, 2009 Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 As much as I'd like to do the whole thing, I doubt I could afford anymore time away from work, but will most likely be down for the few rides at the starting leg.

I could bring the DMR if all else fails, but I'd like to have the Simtra up and running really Awesome stuff dude, glad to hear you'll be making it along. I assume that being on the Simtra you'll be keeping with 26" wheels? If that's the case I can't offer any wheels/tyres, but may be able to lend you a Mono M4 rear disc if nothing else pops up. Anything else needed? I've got a few spare drivetrain bits (cogs/tensioners) about the place etc so drop me a line Guys, I need to remind you all that you need to arrange somewhere for you to stay along the trip. Fortunately as a community we have a pretty good selection of top lads in each stop who may or may not be able to offer floorspace to you, but it's on your own backs to find them/relatives/hostels/fields in which to stay.Whilst I have some room for people to crash in Plymouth (most of which has been claimed, if you've not spoken to me about it then feel free to get in touch just in case) I can't fit everyone in, as much as I'd like to!
