Riding to Dublin? Heres the route from Josh...

There's a few people emailed me saying they're interested in doing the ride, between 12-17 so far. So its definitely happening.

A bit more detail on the route.

Sunrise is around 5.25 and sunset 20.45 this week so we have some time to ride.

Stage 1
Monday 30 July
London to Calne
About 90 Miles
Avebury ancient stone circle is a few miles before Calne for dinner and a pint. The furthest a courier group has previously made it from London is Avebury I think, or maybe stonehenge for equinox (but there weren't any couriers on that one?)
Camping at Calne.

Stage 2
Tuesday 31 July
Calne to Bridgend via Bristol and Cardiff
About 85 Miles
There are some couriers in the cities on this day (or 1 at least) so there may be a bit of alleycat action today.
Camping near Bridgend.

Stage 3
Wednesday 1 August
Bridgend to Fishguard
About 88 miles
Ferries at 18.30 fast 2 hrs to Rosslare which leaves us enough time to get to the the campsite a few miles north at dusk.
Or a slow ferry at 02.45 if you can handle sleeping in ferry waiting rooms and on the boat.
The Pembroke Dock - Rosslare route would save us a few miles riding but the ferry times don't work out.

Stage 4
Thursday 2 August
Rosslare to Dublin
98 miles
Make sure you get somewhere to stay in Dublin lined up I reckon.

I'll make sure every rider has basic route maps and contact numbers because forcing us to ride as a group would slow everyone down. These rides usually work better if people are able to go in smaller groups with people going their own pace. Something to do with different bikes, abilities, fixies going cross country etc. Everyone gets there in the end at their own pace.
I may try and figure out a way for there to be some racing, but probably not. We'll all know who's strongest anyway.

We can get campsites for about £5-£7 a night each. If anyone is able to bring camping gear, they should.

Ferry ticket for a foot passenger (and bike) £20 one way.
