I don't have a bike rack, am thinking of just putting my bike in my car as there is plenty of room for it, but it doesn't make for quick getting on and off, as I usually take off the front wheel. If you have a few cyclists maybe alternate legs as I know I could do more miles if I have a break in between.

In a voise as if I needn't have asked. I think I will bring the mountain bike, it has road tyres on it, and is far easier(in my opinion on the gears and more comfy on the seat) unless things change dramatically in the next few months. So ange you can share mine. Was asked the other day if I would be prepared to do a temporary station transfer, and if so my rota may change, but if it does I will do absolutely everything I can to get shift swaps so I am off that weekend.

flanker Jul 2007 6:37pm, 6 Jul 2007 5,895 posts	Quote Pin flanker I'm planning on biking after my leg too as a warm down (slow running please KS!) My thoughts are to try always have two people able to bike in the team car so there is cover in case of tiredness, injury and or general CBAness The biggest challenge, I think, is going to be sharing driving because of insurance restrictions. Working out schedules for that at the moment.
