FNRttC Friday Night Ride to the Coast - 16th May 2014, York to Hull

[theclaud]

I'd love to do something like this, but wouldn't be able to manage the distance. If I start training now I might be able to manage in 2015!

What sort of distances do you ride at the moment? When I did my first FNRttC it was the longest ride I'd done by quite a stretch, as well as the first time I'd ridden through the night.

I've not done more than 25 miles for the last couple of years. I've done further in the past so I know I could manage the distance, but not without a bit more practice. It's something to plan for next year

Whoop! This is my most local FNRTTC event.

Watch out for the East Yorkshire 'Puma'!

Such a good time on this ride last year. Should I do it again or will it not live up to my memories? Anyone fancy riding back to York from Hull?

Of course you should. I was one of those that rode back to York last year, and may do again this year, if Mrs Uncle Phil agrees (she's coming too. And we may bring the tandem, so it's going to be hard if she doesn't like the idea).

Of course you should.

I suppose it will make it my fifth crossing of the Humber Bridge in a year and it is difficult to tire of that. I'm in then (if SWMBO agrees!).

I'm up for riding back to York. I've booked a ticket to York on Friday night, but haven't booked a return yet - I can't remember what time we got in to York last year! Can anyone else who rode back remember...?!

(I'm aware that I haven't actually registered yet. I will!)

Is, I hope, a link to a 10 minute programme about the glories of the Humber Bridge, how it hangs together and why it is one of the wonders of the world. I've ridden across it five times in a variety of weather, and my wonder never diminishes.
This ride is one of the best in the FNRttC calendar, have no doubt.

Hurry hurry hurry. There are but three tickets left at £21 for the 21:00 train out of King's Cross.

I'm on the slightly spendier 20:00.

Anyone likely to be taking refreshment anywhere in the proximity of The Minster from around 22:00?
I'm not buying a return ticket from Hull, on the premise that it'll be easier on the pocket to buy a groupsave on the day.
Or am I the only one thinking in those terms, thus rendering my thrifty plan useless?
All of the above pivots around my employer granting me a day's leave that day.

Here's a pertinent point - in the absence of any specific info on Northern Trains' site, I'm assuming last year's landslip on the line from Hull to Goole is now fixed?

If memory serves, it happened before last year's ride, but didn't affect Hull to London services.
Comme ca!
