I've just sent my letter of intent to Aidan, which currently will make a grand total of 3 competitors.

Is anyone else thinking of giviing it a go?

(Not that I can really do it, but) When is it?

Start Date: 17 August 2014, 8am

I wish u the best of luck rich, but not for me, not this year

Goes right past my school

I considered it but with finishing once the route had gone through Cannock, not sure I would have the time to do the whole thing.
Definitely out now though with my knee troubles.

It goes past my house as well. Need to pull my finger out and send through a more 'interesting' section through Halifax.

I was seriously considering it for a while, but work has just become very busy, so i can't take that much time off at once. Now planning some other long rides that can be done over long weekends instead.

Aidan says that the other two on the start list have pulled out.

Rich. I found your pump again last week! In my house this time rather than on cut gate

Message my your address and ill stick it in the post.

Sorry its takenr this long to sort it...

Good luck!

Seriously though; Gunther Desmedt was expressing interest and was asking Aidan about start dates/times etc. on Twitter so that might be one other.

EDIT: Scratch that he's riding the transcontinental, it may well be just you and Aidan.

I don't think Aidan is riding.

If I finish I'll be atop the podium.

You've still got Aidan's record to aim at, so you'll be fine, I'm sure

Hello all... Yes, Rich is currently the only brave soul on the list.

I've got other aims this year: The Yukon 1000 canoe race http://yukon1000.com/y/index.php, and trying to get over the cost of the Iditarod.

It will be great if Rich can make it and keep EWE alive!

There will be some minor route changes to take advantage of my greater knowledge of Exmoor, and to fix a few bits that didn't work out last year.

I actually thought the bit in Calderdale was good. Lots of sneaky little bits of fun trail around the urban centres. But route ideas are always welcome.

Yes, please keep EWE alive! I enjoy reading the exploits, and whilst definitely not this year, and unlikely not next, I'm keeping it on my radar
