BigCol, really sorry to hear you've become a victim of some despicable scumbag. Obviously hope you get it back soon or at least get a good payout from the insurance, although they will probably only offer book value ?

Hi Geordie, thanks for taking this roll-call. Was just thinking (I know its unusual) but do we also want to arrange accommodation at Lands End the night before the ride? Perhaps those listed would like to post their comments?Just to confirm, I'm all for it.
Now on 9er number 2 .....

All ready on the case .

I have contacted a hotel in JoG that can put twelve of us up @ £35 B&B.

They have a bar and do meals. I'm trying to get him down on the price.

Struggling to find any where close to the finish that would get us all in.

Only one small problem .... they will be twin rooms. unsure.gif


Thats OK for us 900 riders, who are used to bunking up,

but I know that would be issue for you fecking 850 macho men.
