Partially dressed would best be saved for summer i reckon - sure would attract a lot of attention if we did it for breat cancer and carried topless pillions so that people could easily identify our cause.

I'd be up for it for sure.

For the safety nazi's ...

All pillions MUST wear comedy (fake) breasts ... on their backs :)
Can even paint some suitably silly faces on the rear of their lids ;-)

Job's a goodun'

I may be interested, but being in the middle of the country, it's a b*tch just to get to either start point, and then home from either end point :-/

Still ... sounds like fun, and all for charid-deeeee :D

I would love to do it, just to say I had. However, after 250 miles on the SV I am pretty knackered, so it would have to be perhaps a two day thing for me. Then of course there's getting to and from the start/finish.

That's a good shout, esp for those of us that are nowhere near either start point!

This sort of thing is a massive effort. There is no way you could keep a group together for any length of time. We have to work at keeping an Org ride out together over 1/10th of that distance.

Some pre-agreed stop off points for people to check in, sure. But "Everyone meeting in the middle" is a pipe dream, there will be a 2 hour window between first and last by then I'd be pretty sure.

Could be fun though, I'd do the trip in a day to say I had. Adding fake boobs to my back really wouldn't be an issue :D
