The Great Cyclechat Jersey Relay - Discussion

[Chris James]

Congratulations Chris and Mrs James .

I think a jersey should go over Holme Moss, I'd ride to Holmfirth for a trip out over there no problem.

Thanks Longers. I have passed on the congrats to Rosey too.

The plan sounds good. Any others fancying the route are obviously also welcome to toil up Holme Moss - they can drag me!

Ihave just spoken to my mate Dave.When we have arranged with Cathryn to ride to York to meet Arch.We can arrange a day A saturday to go down to LADYBOWER.To hand on to Chris,Longers and Bonj.If that is ok.I can then baptise my new off road bike.We are looking at May.If Cathryn is fit and well for a ride to York.

 

[Chris James]

I'll worry about this a bit nearer to May. I am happy to try to fit in with whatever. Postman - you have potentially just made my ride much harder! Looks like I might end up going over Strines Moor ... nooooooo!!!

Or you could hand over to Bonj and Longers who could later meet up with me, do Holme Moss and maybe send it over Greenfield to Dan-bo.

Anyway, the more circuitous the route, the more landmarks passed and the more fun had the better as far as I am concerned.

I am surprised that no one has noticed the error in the Official CycleChat Jersey's Relay - Journal thread where Jersey 1 starts the relay somewhere in France. When it actually started off in Jersey!

 

[Arch]

Okay sounds good to me. I'll work out a route to York and back that gets my 100 miles in, and I'll do the hand-over with Arch.

Arch can then make arrangements with the Leeds possie, and it can carry on from there.

Arch - I'll PM you nearer the time to arrange a meet.

Cheers,
Shaun

Ok. If my circumstances change, I'll try and let you know in good time. I'm afraid my life is all a bit up in the air at the moment for various reasons, but I'll try not to let anyone down at the last minute.

It looks like I might currently be a fixed point, rather than riding anywhere... Perhaps I could end up doing a loop out to meet admin on his way in, or go for a ride part way back with the leeds posse, or perhaps fit in a round trip out to meet uncle phil... So maybe if Admin can make the 22nd, the leeds posse might be looking at early May? Not sure what I'll be doing the last week of April, might be busy....

April 12th is no good for me, I'm going to the zoo with tdr1nka and TheDoctor to see a baby elephant!

I've ne'er been further north than t' derwent. I have no concept of what's past there!

If you guys let me know the details I may be able to join in the fun (depending on whether my mum decides to come and visit that weekend).

Handover.

Dannyg,It is our plan to meet Arch 17th May.Then move the jersey on at Ladbower later in May 24 or 31 .If that can be arranged .Nothing set in concrete yet.So others are not waiting for it to continue the journey.

OK, keep me posted - hopefully I can ride some of the way with you or at least be there for the handover.

well there's lots of good riding round ladybower, some of which i know, some of which i'm yet to explore. Quite harsh gritstone, can kill brake pads quite quickly.

 

[buggi]

i should say i'll be away between 22nd and 28th July

Just beware of the washing - I think the plan is to get everyone to sign it as they go, so we don't want to risk washing all the signatures off. We should all try to use permenent marker to sign though, in case of calamity...

Dannyg, once we have a time arranged for the york handover, we'll keep you posted...
