Give it a good talking to and tell it that it has 3.5 weeks...
Yes, I know - bad backs can take a lot of time to sort out. Good luck with yours!

Al and I would like to come.
We will be very slow - not done much cycling since the summer (apart from going to work) due to lots of family stuff getting in the way.

I've lost pretty much all interest in cycling so I'm afraid I'll be a no show.

Oh, I'm sorry to hear it!
Do you think that your mojo will return at some point, or is it worse than that?

Started losing interest when the tourer got wrecked. The new mountain bike is a brilliant bike but it just feels like a kids toy for short pootles about. Sounds stupid but that's how it feels. Unless by some miracle I can afford to build another tourer, me and cycling are all but done.

Somebody on the forum might be able to do you a good deal on a suitable frame. Do you still have most of the other parts that you'd need?

I've got a couple you can have vantage if it fits and I cannot remember tbh, nor can I easily access it due to divorce situation!😥 When I can I'll let you know.

Everything's gone Colin. Had to sell everything to afford the new bike.

I'll see how I feel towards the end of the month Colin. It'll probably do me good to get the bike out for a good long ride but I wouldn't go plucking the chicken just yet. 👍

Want to come along but won't know availability until last minute - not sure which bike I will bring

Maybe...
I've not been on a bike for over 12 months.
Now had my knee fixed (again), so might be up for this provided I can get out on a couple of test rides first.

Very easy terrain and an easy, steady pace so probably lightest, most comfortable bike? There is one stretch of cycle path from Wetherby to Spofforth which can be a bit gritty and/or muddy after long periods of rain but I don't have a problem on 25C slick road tyres. Last time I did have to clear the mud out from under my brakes with a stick at Spofforth though.
Let's hope that the knee holds up this time!
It would be good if you can make it.
I think we will try to get outside tables at the cafe near Tadcaster again unless there are too many of us. Fallback option of Cawood?
Anyway, must dash - the sun is shining for once so I want to go out on my bike!
