Night ride to coast from Solihull/Warwick area

[buggi]

Has anyone done one and which route would be best? (can i nick your route?) Don't mind what beach we end up on as long as we can get a bacon buttie for breakfast

Lol - a long old route that would be, wherever you end up! Skegness would be just shy of 130 miles, Tenby is about 170 but there would be some pretty hilly bits!

I thought there was some stat that you were never further than 70 miles from the coast anywhere in England!

 

[Sittingduck]

Perhaps, as the duck flies but on a bike is a different matter? Good to avoid M-Ways also

 

[buggi]

i thought it was about 100 (can't i use the motorway?) LOL

 

[buggi]

yea i must admit when i googled it is said 72 ish to each of the nearest beaches, but this is obviously by motorway doh!

A roads in the middle of the night must be pretty empty though?

 

[Sittingduck]

M5 all the way - Next stop Exmouth!

 

[mcshroom]

Quick Google walking search says Avonmouth is 79 miles, Chepstow 72 miles and Skeggy about 110miles

Speak nicely to dellzeqq and get him to bring a ride into town - we can all go then! Come to London with McWobble (who is a regular from Brum on the FNRttCs) and get a taste of the South, buggi - "London Welcomes You!"

Only teasing - sounds like a good idea.

Buggi - You're not going to like this, but here you go..

FNRttC is a name that's had a lot of effort put in to it. It carries an assurance that things are done in a particular way. Please use something else by way of a handle.

If somebody started up another forum called 'Cycle Chat' Shaun would be put out by it, and with good reason.

How about a FNC(ycle)ttC of Rutland Water or similar inland sea .

 

[buggi]

seems i have offended someone when using his handle. i thought it was just a term like coast to coast, didn't realise it was patented

 

[Speicher]

Perhaps you could ask the Mod who changed the title if they could spell "Ride" correctly?

I do not think that shiny black shoes are de rigueur, but I could be wrong.
