Guys ... just wondering whether anybody is interested in a team Jersey for ready for the SDW ride ?
We can alter the details (design, names, colours etc) and sponsors need to be consulted (see below) !!! A typical cost seems to be around £35 per Jersey (short sleeve) but there may be a design fee to share.
Here's a starter for 10 to give you some idea ...
Let me know what you think and if anyone has a flare for design let me know ... as I'm not precious about the mock up above.

Planned South Downs Way Ride - July 2011
Here are the details of the planned traversing of the South Downs Way in July 2011:
Date: planned for 16/17th July 2011, although some people may still have a problem with this date so I'm checking if 8/9th July is a better date. I'll confirm here when people have responded on the final and preferred date.
Riders confirmed:
Rob Pearce
Paul Berryman
Tom Sweeney
Alan Humphreys
Peter Hughes
Possibles (tbc):
Andrew Probert
Jules Anderson
Route details:

The plan is to ride the SDW from Winchester to Eastbourne (106 miles) over two days, with a stop over on the Saturday night at a B&B or Hotel at around 60 miles (leaving 56 miles for the second day). I'll add more details here as they get worked out.

Logistics:
Current plan (to be confirmed) is to have a minibus with MTB trailer pick all riders up from Eastbourne on the Sunday evening and bring everyone back to Cheriton/Bramdean/Winchester.
Pre ride prep:
Start getting the training miles in now !
Think about getting your bike serviced in good time.
I'll add a list of tools/kit to carry and share between us closer to the time.
If anyone has doubts about their bike and would like to loan/borrow one I may have a source of reasonable spec MTB's we can get hold of for the ride - let me know if you think this could help you.
Other details and keeping current:
If you have any suggestions/questions/comments, add them as a comment to this post or email me and I'll update the main post here so everyone has the same info.
