Manchester to Blackpool

[DaleB]

Just wondering, what would be a good average time for this event?

 

[PaulB]

Just a reminder for everyone doing this; don't give the robbing barstewards the entry fee. You're doing the route and they want to charge you for the privilege despite giving you nothing for that. Stand up to them and REFUSE TO PAY! You know it's the right thing.

a good, or an average? make your mind up! Stupid caveman

Average for a fairy I believe is 4 hrs 10 minutes!

and what about a caveman?


hmmm, yes that's about my commute pace - will i be able to keep it up for 60 miles though? (no jokes)

 

[SBaxter]

Depends whether you are carrying your club with you or not?

I'm riding in aid of the MacMillan Cancer support charity on Sunday, I'll be wearing a bright green t shirt with 'Birdy Manchester to Blackpool 2010' printed on the back. If you see me, feel free to say hi!

We're aiming to set off at 8am.

ooh just reminded me about that,safety pins I was thinking,unless there's a better way.That's if you can find ones strong enough to go thru your loin cloth

 

[Jmetz]

ill just nail mine to my skin, using sabre tooth and club

 

[peteoc]

On the Manchester to Liverpool ride, I saw someone using duct tape to fix their number on.........myself, I will be using safety pins

It looks like most people here are looking at starting around 8am, no doubt we'll all see each other but have no clue and not utter a word to each other

 

[potsy]

Well we'll recognise 2 people (cavemen) we need something to spot everyone else though,any ideas?

 

[Globalti]

I'll be doing it and paying despite agreeing largely with what PaulB says. Aiming for a very early start if I can and I want to beat last year's time of 4 hours 4 minutes.

Why doesn't CC do a cheap arm band or something for spotting fellow members?
