Tour Leaders?

With a little help from us, Clyde has done a magnificent job in planning/replanning and rescheduling the ride in May to take into account availablity of overnight stops and the discovery of new bits of greenway/VV. It would seem only fair that we should take our turn in actually leading for some part of the ride. With 6 of us, this works out at a day each with Clyde perhaps taking one of the first 6 days then the last one which is likely to be "on home turf".
Perhaps we can give this some thought and come to a conclusion on 12/4.

  1. What would leading for the day mean? Detailed route planning, actually navigating the route and keeping to schedule, planning stops and getting us to the next hotel before dark and in time for supper! Would it be a good idea if we each take the day en route to the hotels we have actually booked? For example I would take theday to Poitiers F1. What do we all think?

  2. That's a fair summary, Shawn and a good suggestion. I will offer day 6, Poitiers to Angouleme.

  3. Does anyone read these comments long after the original post went up? So, by majority decision, I have the last day. Are you sure you can keep up?!! I will opt also for day 1 (from Caen) also if that's OK. I think I will be able to pilot us thru Caen itself and onto the roads we want for Villaines. I suggest that Keith has the day which takes us to the other hotel I booked (Thouars).

  4. I read 'em! And concur.
    By the way can you give a breakdown of what we owe you for hotels. So that we can square up on the 12th since you are more out of pocket than the rest of us. We should share the cost of maps too so please bring those with you with a total outlay cost to be divided by six. OK?

  5. Yes, I have revisited too. I agree with the suggested day's splits. We can finalise this on 12/4 along with sums due. I suspect this may not be precise by then as the actual totals will depend on the exchange rate relevant at the time of each hotel payment. I suggest we do this as we did with DragonRide1 i.e. person to person.
