Morning all,
I trust everyone got home safe and sound. Thanks for putting it together Phil, it was nice to meet you all and to put some faces to names.
I have a couple of pics below. I should have taken more but you know what it is like. I reckon the landlord of the pub had been sampling his wares given the wobbly pics though.
Bokonon and I took just under 2 hours to get back to Leeds and it was just as well he had a full set of lights with him. I had some lunatic idea we would be back before dark and only had my rear lights on so I was trailing him for most of the way back, which is fine, but I really struggled to hang on.
Coming out of York to Rufforth we were into a block headwind and I'm sure Bokonon doesn't realise it but he was belting into it at between 18 and 20 mph.
Was I glad he was in front of me?
Anyway get back we did and we parted company at Oakwood clock. He had another 5 miles or so to go as well.
Pausing in Crayke. A village sited on top of the only
bump in the landscape for miles around.

Byland Abbey which we rode past
The White Horse, which we rode in the shadow of. Maybe next time a ride up past the horse (25%) would be amusing.
Thanks for the tea Jack and I still have two batteries of yours Marinyork. I'll return them when I see you next.
Here's hoping I got the right names to the right faces.
