The Great Cyclechat Jersey Relay - Discussion

[Arch]

I understand the brief is that it goes to Hell, Hull & Halifax. So that's one out of the way.

No, two. Hell and Hull are interchangeable...

 

[Jacomus-rides-Gen]

do you want me to put you on the map jacomus?
it's not a prerequisite for participation though so up to you if you want to be on it

[Captain Jean Luc Picard]

Make it so.

French/Swiss Relay

Hanging around at Gatwick airport isn't something I'd wish on anyone. So the alternative is for me to hand it to Will in Geneva next Wed evening / Thurs morning.

How about it Will?

MCD contacted me and we have tentative plans to meet up near Geneva near my house after/during his ski trip mid March

Looking forward to it. Hopefully my spare road bike will not be too small - but I'm keeping the one with the graphite water bottle holder.

At his suggestion - weather/snow permitting, we have ambitious plans. The mountain behind my house.

My suggestion was that whoever is the weaker rider (me!!!) will let the other do the chatting on the steep parts - about 8 of these:

Gulp!!!

(but at least it looks like a good road surface)

First time I went to a Bikeright at Longridge Towers just outside Berwick on Tweed, I arrived a the same time as another chap. As we rode that last steep hill towards the school, he introduced himself and asked my name. After a pause, he said "oh, perhaps you'd rather not tell me" I had to gasp "Yes.... Fine... Wait.... Top .... Of... Hill...."

The Eagle has landed

The CC Jersey has arrived on Jersey!
Much to the interest of some of the locals:

Yes, I know, a bit cheesy, but the farm's just across the road so it had to be done
The challenge is now for someone to find some friedly friesians!

He could of course just join the forum and read about it just like the rest of us... but there is no harm in building up good will, he might offer us a cracking deal on the next order

Please do it it will be great publicity for our shirt.It may finish up in reception on the photo board.Who knows HAIRY JOCK may get Alan to sign it with a visit to Endura.

Now there is an idea, wee ride out to Livingston with the Edinburgh crowd before sending it on its way northward...

Silly me.The photos not the shirt.

They are not having the shirt back...

 

[Will1985]

I can confirm that Alan has said they will lurk occasionally to see the progress.

 

[Elmer Fudd]

Have I missed a general route run of the 2 shirts ? Or is it a take it as it comes relay ? What about setting up map routes of each jersey on Giggle?
I'd be prepared to do it ( he whispered quietly ) would just need to suss out how to do blue or red markers.

 

[summerdays]

I don't think we have set out a general route.... I think it will be fairly random ... but it would be nice to have it marked on a map (I heard that whisper). Could we have a possible route or would it quickly get out of date?

 

[Jacomus-rides-Gen]

dunno - as long as I get to transport it at some point I'm happy!!

 

[mondobongo]

Likewise.

 

[Arch]

There's no confirmed route, although a few bunches of folk have started to make tentative possible arrangements. I think that's the best way - a set route is bound to mean someone misses out because they aren't in the right place at the right time. And there's no time limit - I think it's right that everyone who wants to gets a chance to take part, even if it becomes a tour of epic proportions. I think the only stipulation is that TheDoctor wants to have a jersey to take up some hill in France in May.
