TLD 2011 What Ride will we do - part 2!

[pale rider]

thats an excellent idea tom' leaving it until the end of september means that members can discuss it face to face at the national as well as through the forum.

the polls did open and shut quicker than a miser's wallet

a couple of guys at work are doing a "pompey to pompeii" (thats portsmouth) on their old vespas. that sounds like a good laugh as theyve got to stay off the autoroutes, but too far for a LD?

On Vespas

I just love that wacky race stuff, but I think Italy on a vespa is pushing it a bit in 24 hours

Personally, it would be good to have something that wasn't just a motorway / payage slog from end to end. As said above, some thought needs to go into the route, and not just based on road maaping software that assumes no breaks and a continual max speed limit being maintained across the whole route. There's possibilities for all options - well worth exploring. Cerianly the tower to tower can be done like this ( and has options on the ferries) and the 5 / 4 / 3 peaks has great scope for this.

Any idea why the 'current poll' on the home page is for a poll thats now closed about what TShirt to wear instead of an active poll for something like this?

Some interesting debate on here. I think that if you want to get a good level of sponsorship sponsors like a good hook. This years east to west was good. Of the current ideas the 2 towers is the one I think sponsors would go for as the most interesting and would give some good publicity pictures.

I would agree, almost all, i have spoke to get the idea of the 2 towers, as soon as say blackpool to paris.

The Peaks takes a wee bit more to explain, then i am asked if we are climbing them too...

I can't see your post about the September 1st vote closure date (got the email)

I thought we were going to leave this until after the National where we can have open discussions?

We are, I was having a blonde moment and misread what we were doing.
