East Yorkshire April 100 miler

[colly]

There's one at Naburn - my only reservation about it is that it has in the past been a bit intermittant in terms of being open. I think it's run a bit ad hoc.... Mind you if it was shut, we could try the pub - ah, on a Sunday they do a carvery and are always rather busy...

My mrs and I had a real nice lunch there after riding up from Selby one sunny day last year.
Nice garden :

I'm considering joining you on Sunday. My average speed is up and I'm feeling fairly fit so I think I should be able to manage at least a fair chunk of the ride. I'm thinking I could bail out at one of the train stations along the southern bit if I'm struggling. What do you reckon?

 

[Soltydog]

That seems a good idea Helen. Think all the trains are running on Sunday & we pass very close to Selby station, which is just over half way, but only other stations I'd recommend bailing out at on a Sunday are Gilberdyke & Brough
Shall I bring a timetable ?

If you could bring a timetable that would be good, although I can print one off if necessary. I've checked and there's no engineering work. See you at the Minster at 10am.

Any idea on an ETA/meeting venue at York yet? Millennium Birdge seems like a good pick up point, on the route. If I stand half way along, I probably can't miss you all!

 

[Arch]

Anyone? Time to meet you all?

At this rate, I'll be assuming you want to avoid me...

 

[Soltydog]

Sorry Arch, not wanting to avoid you at all, just busy

I reckon it will be 1pm at the earliest at Millenium bridge, but maybe a little after depending on cake stops

If you want to PM me your phone number I'll call you when we are somewhere near

 

[marinyork]

Probably worth texting the York contingent when we get somewhere fixed. I'd say set a time but text a warning when we go through Dunnington.

Ok, PM sent. I may get to check in here again tomorrow, otherwise see you all Sunday. I'll aim to be down at the Millennium Bridge for 1pm, unless I hear anything to the contrary (like, 'be there earlier!')

 

[colly]

Sorry but I think I am going to have to cry off on Sunday.

I did a long ride last weekend and I found it hard going pretty much all the way round and this past week I have been whacked out by about lunchtime every day.
I don't feel 'ill' as such but think I must be fighting off some kind of bug or virus. I need to get this out of my system and pushing myself won't help matters. So unless I improve dramatically tomorrow I won't be there.

It's a shame because I was looking forward to it and to meeting you all. Oh well.

Have a great ride and lets hope the sun stays out for you.

 

[Soltydog]

Hope you are right soon Colly. You sure it's not just the weather forecast & my reputation putting you off

 

[Soltydog]

Up early this morning & baked some banana flapjack for tomorrow
Might not be online again today, so see you all tomorrow

 

[velocidad]

who's meeting in hull tomorrow?

 

[marinyork]

I'm meeting in Hull if that's all right .

 

[Arch]

See people tomorrow. Soltygod has my mobile number, so I'll wait for a text/call with an ETA at the Millenium Bridge. I think Helen might also have my number... I think I have hers - unless it's another random Helen!
