Sod the Olympics, it's not as if they're once every 4 years and decades between coming to the UK.

I just Thank **** I don't live in London any more & have absolutely no reason to go there either. Does my head in when nowts on just a normal day let alone when it's invaded.

I wouldn't bother either, all the meetings i go to we used to take the car into london but now train is the only way and thats getting worse each day. Ill be setting up near Brixton soon and no chance of getting home until its all over.

Hey, when you volunteer to work the olympics under the agreement of only doing it for 3 weeks and then being told with just under 4 weeks notice that you're there for 4 months doing 12 hour shifts 6 days of the week, then you can complain

So, the actual meet is in Aberystwyth via the A44, where is the exact starting point??. Am I being dim?

I will be riding from Oxford, hoping some others will tag along???. Both dates should be good for me.

Depending on the date and my time off I may be coming along mate. I'm also from Oxford. Where are you based and what you riding?

ElliorR · 27 May 2012 at 21:23

I'll be heading up from Bucks via Oxford.

I'm right next to the Kassam stadium, I'm staying here while I get my move to Australia sorted. I'll be about for the next 3-6 months as I've work to finish off here before I go; currently working on a big development for Pembroke college university.

The bike is currently a 1996 Foxeye Fireblade that I "acquired" instead of receiving cash payment for a job.

The exact reason I never volunteered. Knew something like this would happen, it was never going to be just 4 weeks or what ever lol.

Could've warned the rest of us

sounds good mate, i go past there everyday anyway

will confirm a little closer to the time.

dsb · 27 May 2012 at 22:15

Will there be another Reading group?

If so, or whoever is south, we can do a different route back come down Wales then across the bridge.

I said travel inn, I meant the services there really - 'tis a dead easy place to meet up with a KFC/cafe there etc. Plus some decent quality fuel at the Shell station if needs be.

It also happens to be at the very start of the route! :cool:

I quite fancy that...
