Joined: 07 Dec 2009 Posts: 5 Bike: | Hi All Am planning a monster ride around the UK coast in the summmer, has anyone undertaken anything similar or know of anyone that has? I'm planning to stay as 'coastal' as possible, not doing 'the Isles' but maybe Ireland as I reckon that'll be amongst the best scenery and definitely good for the Craic! It's for Help A London Child so if anyone fancies getting involved let me know. In the meantime, any help, assistance or advice would be greatly appreciated! |

Joined: 07 Jan 2011 Posts: 6 Bike: | Hi guys, let me know when you are planning your ride with proposed route etc. I live in the north-east and am about 100 yards from the sea. I'd love to accompany you as you pass through this neck of the woods. I'm Redcar-based so we'd follow the coast down through Marske, Saltburn, Loftus, Sandsend, Whitby, Scarborough, Filey. I'd have to take my leave at Filey while you continued to Flamborough, Bridlington etc. Keep me updated. All the best. mickmacnick |
