EXMOUTH EXODUS

[Chuffy]

....will be on the 6/7th June.

Overnight from Bristol to Exmouth. Free to enter. No support but there will be tea, pasta and nibbles somewhere en-route.

Oh and the website should have the correct dates on it as soon as I've poked Big Dave out of his slumber. Just follow the link in my sig....

 

[TheDoctor]

OK - I'm in.

Is this what Sunday evenings Chez Doctor are always like?

 

[TheDoctor]

Well, I don't normally agree to do something that scares me a little.
I save that for special occasions.

I wonder if you meant what I meant...

 

[Chuffy]

Speaking of which, Baggy should be out of the shower by now.

 

[TheDoctor]

Right, with you.
So to speak

I meant I'm planning on joining you for a ride.
Erm...I'm joining you and Baggy for the night.
This is all going horribly wrong.

I would enter, but it's a bit far - so please can you just send me the free tea, pasta and nibbles in the post please Chuffy?
I think if you didn't it would be classed as discrimination against those that live too far away,
Thanks.

As I live in Exmouth I really really want to do this but I'm very concious of never having tackled anywhere near that distance yet.

I'm getting out several evenings a week and putting in between 20 and 30 miles averaging around 15/16mph but I really need to sort meself out and set aside time at the weekends to go further.

Still, the following Monday has been booked off work. The wife is primed to be available to come fetch me during the night if the wheels metaphorically or actually do come off so I'd better get meself in gear

Good lad! You'll probably surprise yourself.

All for it other than it being on the other bloody side of the country

It's got more hills...

 

[GrahamG]

It's got more hills...

Is the DD totally flat then? I was relieved last year to find the exodus route actually only has three hills so is fairly easy, I reckon anyone who can do 50-60 miles will get though it thanks to the superb fuelling stops along the way.

I'm going to try it on fixed this year and the other half is going to be joining me too. Hopefully this won't make the getting home arrangements too difficult!

Has anyone ever had problems with leaving their car/van overnight in Exmouth?

You shouldn't have any problems leaving a car overnight near the town centre. Just pick one of the roads off the center which doesn't have time restrictions on the parking. Something like Victoria Road or St Andrews road would be the sort of place.

Cheers
