The Tipple Run: rough plan

just in case you were wondering...

the half baked plan for the route this years tipple run is.... 150 miles a day on janky old slow bikes on back lanes is about what i have had planned in the past so nothing crazy and hopefully some beautiful roads. the hope is that the sky will have run out of rain by the time the run comes round

29th aug cheddar gorge to newquay [150 miles]
30th aug newquay to dartmoor [150 miles]
31st aug dartmoor to dorset steam fair [100 miles]
1st sept doss about at the steam fair / most likely a little potter out if you havent had enough riding by then
2nd sept ride home

What's The Tipple Run?

This is a chill out and party kind of deal, no attitudes, no fees, no promises. If you don’t expect much then you'll come away happy

If you think your bike has a fighting chance of making the run then you are welcome. If you like building and fixing stuff its probably your kind of thing, be it on a supercharged trike, an old brit restoration or anything in between. If you are more of the weekend power-ranger, colour coded bike/leathers brigade then its most likely not for you.

A word to the wise - THIS IS NOT A RALLY... it's all about riding - as the name suggests its a RUN - its about the riding then party when we get to destination. There are no bands put on, evening campfires, burger vans or entertainment of any sort. Ride your bike make your own fun.

You need to look after yourself, your gear, and your own bike - there wont be anyone behind you to pick you up if you break down. There will be other riders with tools to help but if you break down you'd better have some sort of recovery because we arent putting on a chase truck / trailer or anything smilar.
