Round Britain Bike Ride..? Anyone done it?
A friend of mine has just text me saying that he wants to organise a round Britain charity ride. Neither he nor I have the first idea about doing something like this so I said I would ask my chums on the org if anyone had ever done it...basically tell us how to do it.
It sounds like it's going to be an intense affair over a weekend. Is this even possible? Any help or advice gratefully received.

It's aproximately 5000 miles round the coast of Britain , 60% of it in Scotland. An alternative is to cross Britain visiting key points (offices of your charity maybe) just a thought

Not possible in a weekend I'd imagine! Although if it was done over a nice relaxing number of weeks, it would be a very enjoyable trip .
