I was thinking about it - MrsBP wants to follow me and stay at spa hotels. After the brutal double next year I am going to give up running. Dallas has been advising me and reckons this is good Home | London Edinburgh London .
If anyone has any recommendations for long distance cycling (needs to be about 200 miles a day) then I would love to hear about it.Comment

Just got back from the bike shop as i was looking at a new road bike. I want something with a little less friction than my mountain bike so I can keep up with you.
Mine's a cyclocross - at the mo it's got big (35mm) tyres which are good for my commute through the woods, but I imagine it'll fly with slicks on. Average mph about 3-4 higher than on my old bike even with the knobblies. Not sure how it will cope with steep hills - it's not got the low gears, so need a bit more power in the engine.Comment

Maybe we could get someone to drive a van to get the bikes home? Apparantly the train is horrendously packed afterwards.Comment
