Who's got the mettle? 630km bike ride up and down the glory that is Wales.

Well posted Dov with plenty of notice. Don't have the mettle, but would try anyway, will discuss with the family.

Can you do it in a car?

Sam, I do not like green eggs and ham.

Yes. Bring a bike rack for when I climb off.

630km - that is scary

And awesome

Can you imagine the #epicbants a Grupetto train would cause in Wales?

And the hissy fits?

I will have a wet glove in my bar bag to slap JG with evrytime he has a pissy fit.

I'm hoping D will have one for me.

This is on my list. But not this year.

What about next?

Boom

Just checked my schedule and for me to do this I'd have to take a 7 days off work.
If this changes I'm in.

It's a long ride Nick, but not that long ;-)

He has to stop every 10 miles to work on his triceps.. otherwise they vanish in a puff of dust.

Surely you have enough time to factor in some holiday?

This is how it happens:

Travel up on Friday afternoon after work (early finish)
Arrive Chepstow at 6pm
Drink beer and eat food
Wake at 5am
Ride to start
Depart 6am
Ride for 40 hours
Get wankered in hotel again.
Train home on Monday morning after breakfast
Ultimate adulation received form Grupetto WAG's

Stay at mine , and we can ride over the bridge to the start.
Will make it a nice even 700km.

You and JG can snuggle up again.

Don't run before you can walk.

Fortunately, I'll be on parental leave.

Contract changes next year as the BBC had to make some reform to please the government. I get the same amount of holiday but a week of it is fixed.

This year the fixed week is the first week of April.

Could you not just take the Friday afternoon off and get the train home Sunday?
