The Great Cyclechat Jersey Relay - Discussion

[Arch]

You're around 150km south of me! I'm about 100km north of Limoges.

I note Arch is heading this way... maybe we can have a French leg??

I am, well, I hope to - money is a bit of a worry right now. And I'll be with friends and they are sorting the route out, and it's all to a bit of a timetable.. But once I'm clearer about it all, I could see - perhaps not take responsibility for carrying the shirt, but manage a meet up...

hey Yello, I've got a place in Payzac about an hour South from you, me and you can 'do France'

You're also about 150Km. north of my place in the Lot (assuming you mean '24270 Payzac') - too far for my legs I'm afraid, but if you'd fancy a ride down I can certainly put you up. Where I'd take the jersey on, after that, is problematic - meet up with Arch or anyone else on a French tour, or take it back to UK and deliver it to the 'next in line' here...? Also, very much depends on timing, will probably only be able to fit in 4 or 5 trips down there this year...

Mrs HJ (or should that be SWMBO, Dr HJ) is recruiting a PhD student to study penguin poo, and one of her fellow supervisors will have to go to South Georgia to do a spot of penguin spotting and to collect data. We could send it with him, but I don't think he will be taking a bike....

 

[HJ]

BTW does anyone know when the relay will start??

 

[Shaun]

I'm now in possession of two freebie XL Friedly jerseys for the relay.

I'm starting one of them from Hull (hope that's okay with everyone?) and I'm sending the other to MCD in Jersey (as per postings around 7th Feb.) for him to hand-over to User76 around Easter time.

I'm afraid I simply haven't had time to keep up with the entire thread so if the plans have changed, please let me know by PM.

Cheers,
Shaun

As I don't have a jersey yet, or anyone to give it to or get it from there, should I collect some authentic African mud or something to spill on it when one finally does come my way?
