2015 Planning

[ZeroDarkBivi]

Trying to get organised and start planning events for next year, by which point I may have some feeling back in my feet!

Does anybody know of a consolidated calendar of Bikepacking events? The options so far consists of:

WRT - 2 May
Cairngorm Loop - 2 May
HTR - 23 May
CTR - August? TBC
BB200 - October? TBC

I suspect I am missing out some of the other great events both at home and abroad - any suggestions?

Would anyone on here consider creating a google calendar for bike packing events?

That way, people can add it to the google calendar on android phones and in chrome browser etc.

If people think it is a good idea but no one else wants to do it I don't mind - so long as people provide me with dates and events to put in it.

Will probably be suggesting another group start for the peak ITT. Later I the year when the ground is a bit drier.

Guessing either July or September would work but will suggest nearer the time. Or happy for someone else to do so

Gutted at the WRT/Caingorms clash

A choice between riding in Scotland or Wales......

I've just been cleaning my bike from the other weekend, it's brought back a few memories. Scotland it is!

Very interested in this Ian. I was going to do it this year until my knee died.

Already planning next years fun in our house...

Group start on the peak ITT will be under Edale railway bridge 10am on 4th July.

The route is slightly tweaked from last year as the curbar/frogatt/longshaw permissive bridleways are now open. Gpx nearer the time.

If you fancy putting a lot of miles down in Wales, keep the 5-6 April 2015 free (Easter weekend). Not saying any more at this stage

Let me know if you need route hosting like last time.

And I'm still going the week before you

I should probably set up a webpage for it. Bit out of practice though! Any ideas for a free one page website. Guessing one of the blogging sites. But which is best?
