Hello

I am thinking/hoping to hire a bike for this years run, but does anyone know how many miles it normally is- roughly? The reason I ask is I wouldnt be sure on what the tank/fuel/mileage situation would be like with a hired bike lol

Thanks in advance,

Claire

best thing to do is ring the organizers up and ask them, from memories from a few years ago its probably a good 100miles,the few runs ive done headed west from truro down to hayle,falmouth and then up through truro,st austell,bodmin and newquay before ending at camborne

Does anybody know when the run is this year?

Graham22 is usually up to date on that one, he's a member of the Pendennis Club who organise it. Might try and go on this years if I'm available, but I know its usually early Sept and I'm pretty tied up.

Ok thanks for that- the tank capacity for the hire bike is around 12L I think so hopefully that will be enough lol

Taken from the facebook event,

Date: Sunday, 13 September 2009
Time: 09:00 - 16:00
Meets 9am for 10am start at Garras wharf Truro, Cornwall

i doubt 12lts will be enough for a run like the jennings run, just out of curiosity where are you hiring the bike from ?

shame its the same day as the swb friendly ride

Hmm having trouble finding a hire bike at the mo, spoke to one guy who might be able to help us and is ringing back tomorrow. Hes up in oakhampton.

Seems to be difficult finding somewhere who hires 125s in cornwall/plymouth region

ah chris at okemoto,nice bloke

dont think theres anyone in cornwall that does it anymore,i think there was a company a few years go but it was bikes that were more like suzuki bandits etc for a week riding around cornwall/devon

* lol meant Okehampton

not sure about the guys name but the website is called hire2wheels...seems a nice guy- he might be able to sort out another 125 for us as hes only got the one lol
will keep looking around online though.

Have you asked the company you did your CBT as I know some training schools will hire their 125's

Ok cheers for that, didnt think of it its worth a shot.
Im going down there on saturday, so will ask then
