Ok, now the ToB is out of the way...
I gather from Craigwend yesterday that we have a localish birthday coming up which needs to be celebrated with a ride and cake. Possibly also beer.
So, we need a ride date. Preferably a Sunday so that Spandex can join us. If we are to celebrate the birthday, the birthday boy needs to be able to come along too.
Route ideas? If cake is the thing, The Balloon Tree Cafe is a good bet, on the way to Stamford Bridge. Pocklington also has sources, but I'll have to check on Sundays, as much of Pock is closed on Sundays. I hear Millington also has a cafe. There's Castle Howard, if hills are deemed worth it. South of the Hull Road is a bit of a cafe desert, but there are pubs.... Of course, there are always plenty of places to get cake in York, if it came to it. Or we head west, to the bright lights of Tadcaster, or south to the bustling metropolis that is Selby.
I guess we may need to think about a shorter ride than some of our summer ones, with the nights drawing in (as much for those who then need to get home, as much as for the ride itself), and check seasonal cafe opening... And a shorter ride might appeal to less keen partners.
Anyway, who's up for it, and when can you make it? You can never start planning too soon.
