Anyone coming to York at the weekend?

That's handy, I'm staying in Copmanthorpe so it'll be just a short wobble ride home.

Is the ride to the ship the same one that's listed as "Friday night pub ride" on the CTC web site?

Not entirely sure :-) but I did tell them about it, so it's possible.

If it's not, then the pub might get a bit crowded, if it's full of a ctc ride as well.

Can't be the same ride - different evenings! (CTC Friday, VV Saturday)

Crackle, you're thinking of the King's Arms. The Ship recently reopened after finally taking a leaf out of the King's Arms' book and converting to a flood friendly decor (bare brick walls, flagged floor) instead of the old plaster and carpets - will still get flooded, but easy to clean and reopen quickly.

I heard that in the past, the King's Arms didn't shut until the water reached the top of the bar, and staff with waders on would piggy back customers in... The highest water mark now is the 2000 one, and you'd have needed a snorkel...

Ah! All is clear now.

Any body doing anything on the Friday night?

I'll be bumbling by on Saturday morning, and may be around for the VV ride in the evening, accompanied, I hope, by Mrs Uncle Phil. May be about on Sunday afternoon as well.

You could always come out to Acaster Malbis on the CTC ride. Just to check everything's OK for the Saturday night ride of course

If nothing else turns up...

A few of us normally end up going for a curry on the Friday, but it's usually a bit ad hoc, so I don't know yet...
