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.

I have no idea, but i hope to god your bikes got a comfortable saddle

Speak to Steve God - think he's done it.

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 .

I looked ay doing a round scotland and planned my routes timings etc. 3 days was the shortest i could see managing it and to enjoy it i reckoned 5. Depends what you mean by around britain..

ie right around the coast or just hitting lands end . o groats and some notable points in between

Why would you want to rush it for?

t's aproximately 5000 miles round the coast of Britain

I posted this link just before Chrimbo. This bloke did it in the snow.
