pirate-jogle-2014
Inspired by Cona’s recent trip and through popular demand, we are looking at doing a Pirate JOGLE sometime in 2014.
Current thinking is it would be post Nice and Outlaw, but pre- Kona, so maybe towards the end of August. I’m happy to hire a van and drive to John O’Groats with the bikes etc. (unless we can steal one), the rest can fly up. Then spend between 9 and 11 days cycling down, with support vehicle in tow ……… simples really.
To make it work I reckon we need between 8 and 12 people, with another 2 crew to drive the van down. If there’s enough interest, I’m happy to organise a route (that may or may not involve Nice, thank you Mr Z.) and look into cheap hotels/B&Bs etc.
Before anyone jumps on board, you may want to read Cona’s thread about his trip – Cona’s stats - 934 miles ridden - 55,000 feet climbing - 58 hours and 58 minutes riding - Average speed of just over 15mph
So who’s in??

Put me down for a large one please.
Participation will depend on the exact dates, work commitments and persmission from the supreme being but ill nail my colours to the mast.
Hmmmmmm, very tempted, but think 9-11 days away from the family might be strecthing it, may ask Mrs SA if she fancies it and then offer to the drive the van, as long as it got 3 seats in the front so Jordy can come along
Ok, a definite maybe from me.
We can play stuck in the box every night
Interested.
SA - we can make sure the van has enough seats, wouldn't be a proper Pirate outing without Jordy!!
Ok, it's a definite!
I can still see it!
But you're going in the wrong direction! It's down hill that way, you want to do LEJOG cos that's uphill.
Interested in theory with same caveats as Barley (but I don't have to ask the Goddess for permission.)
I can still see it!

and a box, bag of balloons and a lot of helium
I prefer the sound of JOGLE, LEJOG sounds a bit French.
I prefer the sound of the downhill bit!
I can still see it ????????
100% yes if i can ok with the mrs, but she is happy enough with my stupid antics
Been toying with this idea for awhile and doing with you guys would be a great laugh, my original plan was to do it 2015 but would be delighted to bring it forward a year.

just a minor point: it is generally accepted as easier to LE to JOG rather than "down" due to the prevailling winds in the UK
But I was thinking more of the logistics of getting all the bikes to the start etc., a 2 day drive before hand may be easier than at the end! But happy to go with the flow on the direction once/if we get a core who wish to do it.

What about a pirate running LeJog?- Pref spring 2015
Usual caveats - dates, work & all that but I'd be interested in this.

Would depend on dates but would be well up for part of this ever riding or support

Thanks Raf
If this did come off and some people couldn't commit to the whole end to end it's the sort of thing you could just do a leg or two of it. Could pick up different people the whole way up .. or down!
Leg up, leg down, leg over - the choice is yours.
and what contingency for difference in speed ability ??
Maybe - I'll need to ask the boss, but maybe
Depending on number's can't see why there couldn't be spilt's for different groups and abilities otherwise folks doing the whole thing will get knackered holding back for other's.
Bonus is that if Raf is getting to the B&B pub first he can get the beers in?
Also makes sense to make the groups a bit disciplined, riding in a proper group, turns at the front, slower riders staying tight on the wheels so theyre drafting and allowing the group to maintain speed.
