Calling Yorkshire folk of all persuasions

[spandex]

I'm hoping to make the 29th as well. Depending on time I may have to turn back early as I'm on nightshift that night though.

What time dose you start? as I think we got back around 6 but there was a lot of stopping and a very nice but long lunch Thank you Phil for picking it are we going back there?

We did stop for tea at Jack the Lads as well. I'm sure we can get back quicker if people need to.

That is a point we did I had forgot Sorry mate



But next time we are heading to Arch's for Tea and cake

I leave home about 5.30pm but I'd rather turn back early myself than shorten the day for everyone else.
Cheers

I thought we might go back there. There's clearly enough support to let 'em know we're coming well in advance, and we don't need to linger so long if people want to get going.

Mrs Uncle Phil and I got back to the Minster at about 5 to 5.15. We could have got back much earlier if we hadn't dallied at Jack's (and slightly earlier if marinyork hadn't left his rucksack there and had to go back for it). So if we have tea at Arch's, we'd be back in York sooner, and those not wanting tea would be free to get going.

Will you be riding a 'bent, Banjo?

That sounds good, as Velocidad & myself are planning on cycling back to Hull, so an earlier finish would be better, although I don't know if we'll be able to resist a cake stop at Arch's

Arch! Get baking!

Velocidad and Solty are going to need some serious cake.

 

[marinyork]

Soltydog are you planning on doing a 100 miler CC in April at all?

 

[Soltydog]

It was a kind of new years resolution to do a 100 mile ride each month, so yes I'll be sorting something out for April. Could possibly do the Hull - York ride that was planned for feb. I'll check my diary & sort something out in the next day or so

 

[Bokonon]

I don't think I'll be able to make the ride on the 29th now as I have been committed to other non-cycling activities

 

[banjokat]

Not if you're planning to use one of your off road bits!

Yikes! I better practice. I made some flapjack at the weekend and it went all wrong (nice flavour, but no structural integrity). And I'll need to stock up on cake tins....

It's a good thing this ride is going to be after my thesis panel meeting and the postgrad conference, so I won't feel guilty at taking a day off to bake!

Seriously, though, it might be standing room only, if there's more than say, 5 folk....

"Will you be riding a 'bent, Banjo" - depends if he sits on it, I suppose. That would make a bit of a twanging noise!

 

[HelenD123]

Arch - don't stress about baking. I'm sure I can bring something, or Spandex always seems to be baking. Just don't eat the donuts

 

[Rhythm Thief]

I'll try and make it, although I have no idea if I'm supposed to be doing anything on that weekend or not. What time is everyone meeting?

 

[Amanda P]

Meet at ten for a 10.15 getaway from the Minster (leaves time for those coming by the train that arrives just on ten). Those coming by car may prefer to park at Rawcliffe Bar Park and Ride and lurk on the riverside cycle path nearby for us to come by at about 10.30.

Full instructions are in this earlier post.

There's a map of where to meet here.

And here's a map of the proposed route.

Any more questions?

Be good to see you, RT; bit of a trek from Monmouth, though.

Banjokat, there are some bits of off-road, but as those who came on 1st March will attest, nothing rough or lumpy, just well-packed gravel cycle path. Those with small wheels will want to take the "cattle grid" bike traps on the cycle path gently (they rattled the chain right off my Moulton).
