    it's the furthest i've ever ridden. i did bristol to gloucester in under 4 hours with a break for a meal half way at dursley. need a better bike really but any old thing will do.

    Yup, Lickey Hills is the way to go. Very pretty, but then you can see the tower blocks of the city in the not so distance, very surreal.

    Heh, I've thought about just getting on the pushbike and riding until I get to Edinburgh. Figure I could do it in 3 days...

    Make sure you take some food with you when you do decide to go. And a set of spanners... ;)
