No, it's fine.
Just as long as you are travelling clockwise it's ok, the saddos are the ones that try do it anti-clockwise.

The saddos go to watch football like sheep every weekend and then talk endlessly about it for days

That's what my son called my Galaxy.... until he tried it. He got off after 5 miles and said sheepishly "can I have one like that for my birthday?"
cue hours on Ebay seeking Galaxy of appropriate vintage, then more hours researching and soucing second hand parts...

Nah, not a saddo at all .. he's just being a teenager. I'd love to do a trip like that, but it will probably be next year now before we can do it: we'll have the kids in tow but ours are still young enough to think of it as an adventure and be as excited as me and Mrs-LC will be.

I do my best to forget BB but the meeja keep trying to tell me there is something significant/important in it. It is for the brain dead

Oi! I'm one of those 'saddos'

 

[RedBike]

I think you're nuts taking the bike on the train! (never been on a ferry with a bike)

I would love to go cyclo touring again though.

Yeah, but you're probably too fat from eating too many pies to do anything about it

 

[Angelfishsolo]

Naaah, not a saddo. Mad maybe but not sad All the best for the trip, it sounds fantastic

I'm not one of those! I don't eat the manky pies that go on sale on match days!

FYI I have a 32 inch waist
