ABR Holy Grail Rally 2012

[Sprockette]

Sounds like a good one James, as long as you don't want a shrubbery too. I will look up the air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow just to be on the safe side! Sounds like it'll be fun trying to get a close photo according to some people, a little extra challenge, I like it!

Is there a special dress code for the quest Sire?

And perhaps if I make so bold, could I suggest to thee a Tee shirt instead of the usual certification? :laugh:

JAMES, why have you done this? When I got back from finishing the nature last week I said I would pass on 2012, but now I find I`m sat here looking at the 2880 mile one hit route and thinking ummmmmmm that looks a good ride! :woohoo: :woohoo:

cheers Marc

Hmmm....same thought here Marc.:laugh: :laugh:

Athough a long weekend doing this with a couple of mates would a hoot.

I am compelled to unleash my steed and ride swift unto battle – for the gauntlet has been cast to the earth and be I Page or Knight in the making I am duty-bound to accept thy challenge fair Sir.

Won't be doing it all in one trip this time though as I already have a long trip planned for 2012.

Hats off to you James, this is a belter of an idea

Ye bold and fearless knight, I accept your challenge, and from mere pesant that I am, my quest shalt begin to become as fearless a knight as your good self.

I shalt call upon all of my cunning and deviousness to overcome such obstacles that shall appear to thwart me in my task.

The crusade begins!!

Why has a picture of The Knight of the Woeful Countenance just flashed before my eyes? :laugh:

What has Don Quixote got to do with the Holy Grail?




Which reminds me I once named a bike of mine Rocinante

But I digress from the noble quest in hand....


Actually this did get me thinking as to the choice of locations. Did James just pick a number of randomly scattered religious buildings for the challenge or do they have actual grail connections (mythical, literary or otherwise)?

The only obvious one being Glastonbury, or if you are a Dan Brown fan Westminster Cathedral (now that would be interesting, trying to get your bike inside for a photo in front of Newtons tomb :laugh: )

There's a couple more I can think of but i'll keep them to myself just in case I give away the final secret location by accident
