Who has the jersey ?

[MickeyBlueEyes]

So Oxfordshire @Fab Foodie ... Leicestershire @Supersuperleeds ... Derbyshire/Yorkshire???(@ColinJ) Northumberland @Fnaar ... Cumbria @mcshroom / @MikeW-71 ... Scotland... North of Scotland (@Fubar et al)... @snorri for FAR North of Scotland??? (in fact I think @Edwardoka is planning a FAR North trip after our tour, so could do a handover...)

I reckon I could help out with the Derbyshire neck of the woods.

Great! Just need to get it moving...

 

[MickeyBlueEyes]

I'd be happy to help get it through the Midlands. I could ride up to 50 miles from Leicester to meet to collect and again to pass it on, only not in one day!

Should it get moving @Supersuperleeds a ride out your way would suit me just fine.

I probably wasn't far from you this morning, I got to within a couple of miles of Ashby.

Is there still one in Leicester at the minute?
Are you already passing it on @Supersuperleeds ?

I haven't got one, think the closest one to us is in Abingdon with @Fab Foodie. I could probably go as far south as Banbury but that will be on the edge of my limit if I want to get home on the same ride.

That's about the same for me too. If it gets to within 50 miles of Leicester one of us can bring it in and the other can take it back out if you would like?

Sounds good to me, the out will be a nice easy ride as @MickeyBlueEyes is the next connection north and he is Ashby way I think.

Banbury is doable for me!

Banbury is doable for me!

Yes, there's a nice, direct, well-surfaced National Cycle Network route all the way there!

Would you like to collect it then @Supersuperleeds ? I will if you prefer but that would be 30 miles longer than my longest ride yet!

NCN5 perchance?

 

[jonesy]

NCN5 perchance?

Indeed. I admit.it was over ten years ago that I last rode that route, but I doubt the surfaces of the traffic free routes have improved since...

I'd take a bit of a trip out for a meet, but yeah it's certainly not far.

Who is next North after me? @ColinJ ? Hebden Bridge? #200miler

Thanks for the warning .... I might try it as one leg of the route just for the hell of it! Want to come along?
