(the run will be in early May).<br /> I think everyone will be fine, but the training may sting the non-cyclists a bit! (and me too lol) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2027#post-21332 Wed, 12 Jan 2011 23:24:09 +0000 kaputnik 21332@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@Smudge - The charity ride thread got me and a colleague thinking about planning our own London to Edinburgh ride for the late spring / summer. We were mentioned 4 days, something like 80/120/120/80-ish ratio and probably just hostel or B&amp;B it. I'll let you know what I turn up. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2027#post-21330 Wed, 12 Jan 2011 22:46:49 +0000 chdot 21330@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"to use cyclepaths/routes if at all possible"</p> <p>Obviously <a href="http://www.sustrans.org.uk/what-we-do/national-cycle-network/route-numbering-system/route-1">Sustrans has NCN 1</a> but it meanders a lot and will not be all tarmac.</p> <p>How many days? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2027#post-21325 Wed, 12 Jan 2011 22:27:37 +0000 Smudge 21325@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Greetings all,<br /> I have been given the task of planning a route for a cycle run from Edinburgh to London, the aim is to do around 110(ish) miles a day, camping overnight (meeting a support vehicle) and to use cyclepaths/routes if at all possible to avoid bad traffic (if that is viable).</p> <p>Unfortunately I don't know any cycle routes south of the Pentlands(!), hence this plea...</p> <p>does anyone have info/suggestions/a route they could recommend?</p> <p>All and any info would be gratefully appreciated... thanks! </p>
