Anybody interested in taking part in Austin Vince's navigational challenge in the Pyrenees next September?:

http://www.austinvince.com/the-vince

It's on the 5th and 6th Sep (Thursday and Friday) so would be possible to catch the Plymouth Santander ferry on the Sunday and return either Santander / Roscoff / Plymouth / Portsmouth from the weekend onwards

I have a van so could take two bikes down or ride in on the N260...

Cheers,

Amyas

I've entered the last 5 years and love it - in the last 3 events, runner up twice, winner once, so I usually run a pretty intensive route, not a lot of stops, and long days which isn't too everyone's taste! Next year I'm undecided what to do, my usual team mates can't go, so I'll be looking for a team if I decide to take part for a 6th year. I'm very keen to a the 2019 event is running in my favourite area.

I'm happy cracking on with riding so wouldn't be too phased by a long day with limited stops. Used to doing Ten Tors / Moor to Sea and long days abroad on a road bike. Sense of directionand map reading is n't bad either!

Cool. We should meet up for a beer and a chat, I can go through what we did last year, and if that all looks good we can take it from there.

Sounds good... Where and when is suitable for you? I'm in Paignton but can travel.... Weekends are starting to look busy so could do a weekday?

Anything from a Montessa 4ride to BMW GSAs take part. I've entered on my TTR250, TE449 and 640Adv. Mid size bike, with decent fuel range is a good bet.
