Justdan, have you considered or are you already member(s) of britishcycling.org.uk? Took out membership for myself and the young fella recently - discount opportunities and insurance packages too. (Son will in the coming weeks, be doing a sponsored cycle run for environmental charities he wants to support - excursion will be about 12 miles all in - a start in the right direction - he has chosen the route himself. Guess who his support crew is!)

[justdan]

good for your son .... thats not somethin iv looked just yet but its not on my whiteboard of things to look into , cheers dave ..
good luck with the suppoprt crew pal , we planning do it unsupported at the min..... tents and oat bars lol

[Big Dav]

Thanks Dan, the "support" vehicle will be me on my bike towing the cycle trailer containing food and waterproofs - expect the event to last about 4 hours inc 1hr on ferry.

[justdan]

i got a bike trailer think , thinking that will be going withus on the wee journy ...........

[Big Dav]

Benefit of trailer is two-fold for me - I have come a cropper while laden with a rucksac, so the trailer takes the weight and also helps keep the back wheel of the bike on the ground!

[justdan]

iv managed to get my ttrailer airborn a few times with the kids in aswell lol.........

[justdan]
