Think I may have just volenteered for somethign stupid!

Like the Siverstone 24 hour! Mentioned to the accounts director at work without knowing he is the corporate event type person......

Think I might have to get my training going and get my behind used to spending a couple of hours in the saddle! OOps! I have a feeling I'm gonna get fit or die trying....

Nice one, I'll be there with a team of 4

I think you spelled the word "brilliant" wrong.

I will have to see if I can scare up three more people. Massive respect to anyone doing this solo (although I'm sure for some nutcases this will be a walk in the park, at least Silverstone is flat and smooth...)

Best of luck - sounds a great event

My "why did I sign up for it" is London to Paris in <24 hours. (via Dieppe). Stupid idea

Over 4 hours of that is on the boat Ditchling or High N'Over into Newhaven? ... actually, got a link mister?

Good plan for the OP; you gotta have goals.

I just want to know if we're doing it. I'm one of these people that won't get off their backsides until somethings confirmed.

Thankfully Silverstone is only 3.6 miles long and flat, and more importantly, smooth!

Any PHers fancy teaming up for this? I think me and Eddh are stupid enough.

Apologies to the OP for being slightly off topic, but...

You're right, we get a bit of sleep on the boat

We've got an 11pm ferry on a Friday night (28th June). We'll leave London with enough time to make that. Sleep. Eat. Leave ferry 4am French time in Dieppe, make it to Paris for photograph in front of Eiffel tower by late afternoon, Eurostar home Saturday night. We're contemplating a hotel in Paris on the saturday night and one of the guy's girlfriends bringing us clothes so we can go out for a meal and a drink and return home sunday.

We are doing this route from Dieppe to Paris (129 miles), and 73 miles from Big Ben to Newhaven. Not sure the route down to Newhaven yet exactly.

The whole thing was planned over a beer. Thus, it's probably a really silly idea But hey, it will be an experience!

You bd! I've already worked out it's less than £40 return on the ferry, there is a massive campsite in Paris, trains Paris-Dieppe are quick and cheap too and I will therefore have to do this sometime soon.

Anyway, back on topic folks....

[TonyHetherington]

Pretty much the logic our minds took, and we thought we'd challenge ourself by doing it with 4 hours sleep

Could be interested, I'll drop you a mail. The 0900 start time keeps putting me off but I can be easily persuaded!...
