Tea? (Part 2)

[Hill Wimp]

Its something this Tyke, did for a bit of fun. And because they said it couldn't be done. That was on a fully laden touring bike.

That's fun ???

I'd rather eat marmite.

 

[potsy]

I have a vague recollection that you and Wol went to the same school. Is that correct? And was it in Birmingham?

Hung about the same bike shed I heard

At the time & looking at doing it again. Possibly on four wheels, with something like this...

There were a few nervous moments while we checked that there hadn't been any drunken clinches between us at the time!

There were some with other girls who were at her school then, but they moved in different circles ...

 

[classic33]

Is that what you ride, Classic? You can get a lot of doughnuts in that trailer.

I have one of them, picture of mine here 7 Mar 2013 . Luggage rack on the back since that was taken.

Why the 200 against the 800?

I only ask as I'm considering getting one but don't want to end up with loads of stuff I won't use.

Well the price is great.
I don't feel the need for cadence and heart readings yet, don't need maps as I know where I'm going, the 200 seems to do everything I want at the moment, it may change in the future and I am happy for someone to tell me why I need the 800

 

[Speicher]

Not the way that I would do it! I would detour off into Wales and then return to the Pennines and head up through the Peak District, call in here for a change of clothes and a cuppa, then head up through the Dales with another detour off onto the North York Moors en route.

Where would you go after lunch?

I think we also frequented the same pubs: "The Albany" in Earlsdon and the "Grapevine" ? in Coundon, also the discos at Lanchester Polytechnic.

The 200 is great I have had mine for just over a year and it does everything I want.

Where would you go after lunch?

The Lake District?

 

[Speicher]

The Lake District?

Yes, that sounds like a good day out.

 

[ColinJ]

Yes, that sounds like a good day out.

I know it sounds crazy, but Gethin Butler did LEJOG in a mere 44 hours, 4 minutes and 20 seconds in 2001! It was a sensible route avoiding the super-hilliness that I was talking about, but even so ...! (Andy Wilkinson did it 3 hours quicker on a recumbent trike.)

So is this your new goal colin, don't you think the SITD might be a bit more realistic.
