The Great Cyclechat Jersey Relay - Discussion

Whats the plan after the jersey gets to Ladybower possibility of it coming to Lancashire.

Agreed - I'm sure when he can he will reappear. Though I don't see a problem having 3 jerseys on the go since we have another being supplied. What about an Eastern jersey?

Am afraid I haven't looked at this thread for a bit, and didn't know where the jersey had got to.
It's the Bristol to Exmouth "Exmouth Exodus" ride soon, so maybe the jersey could do the ride if Maggot's back in action by then? I'm still up for taking it soewhere in the Exeter regions.

Ok Postman Pat delivered the new relay jersey today.Who wants it,should it go to Bristol for the Exmouth Exodus?Someone please make a decision.Or should it go into Lancashire?Please don't miss out on a wonderful day out.

Christ. Piss Up, Brewery.
Get the Northern one (which IMO seems to be drifting about in the Midlands) to the proper North and let us show you how it should all work!

 

[bonj2]

So, to recap: one's in the post, one's been "drifting about in the midlands", one's been lost in the west country, and another's on its way down the M4 to also get lost in the west country. This wasn't how it was meant to be!

 

[mondobongo]

Postman we are not after the new one for the South. We are enquiring about the northern jersey which is enroute to Ladybower Reservoir in the near future. If we can get it across to Lancashire we can ride it down the golden mile. Before taking it North or possibly North West with Yenners not that far away in the 'Pool.

 

[Noodley]

How about we just post it to one another?

(not far off what appears to be happening)

I thought a "relay" involved some organising, some cycling, keeping people informed, passing the jersey on from one person to another in a relay (hence the name!)...obviously not.

 

[mondobongo]

I agree with the big fella, was expecting it to follow a bit of a route whereby people could chip in with arrrangements to meet up and keep it moving around the country being passed hand to hand.

 

[rich p]

Exactly the point I keep making. One jersey, relayed round the country. So what if it takes a long time, what's the hurry!
This mish mash is pointless IMHO

 

[Fnaar]

This would all make an interesting study in chaos theory!

 

[summerdays]

I think I would rather the Jersey traveled under pedal power slowly than it reach me quicker by car. I don't mind waiting for it to arrive - isn't it all about travelling rather than arriving?

 

[Tynan]

people are posting it and driving it?

for shame!

late to all this, trinka seems to have bagged a London bit, I'm happy to ride en posse, he's suggesting a London booze for the London types loosely associated with the jersey thing

I think, sounds good to me

Agreed. All getting silly now, posting jerseys around and taking them on holiday!

If all goes to plan the jersey will be coming your way west after it's jaunt around the South East which will be done by pedal power alone.
I think Miloat in Chippenham is primed to pass the jersey onto you sometime in June!

The 'northern' jersey has been cycled to York by admin, and picked by bike by Postman. Ok, in between it went on a jaunt to Ventoux. What's the matter with that?

To be honest, as long as anyone who wants to gets to handle the jersey and sign it, what does it matter? Who wrote the 'rules'? All I know is the Northern jersey has been involved in a couple of really nice meet ups and days out, and as far as I'm concerned, nice days out and meeting nice people is what matters....
