Wow!!! Thanks, Simon. I need a lot of dates in next year's diary!

 

[StuAff]

Indeed...thirteen rides! Duly noted. Newhaven & Dieppe? Sounds interesting. Definitely keen on doing the York one....

 

[MacB]

Diary filled in, ta Simon

Dieppe huh?? Sounds like "add a bit of mouseketeer and Garminator" action and were end up in Paris and getting Le Shuttle home.... :-)

Yes Davy - a quick tranche of Camembert with some Roscoff 'pinkies' will mean you can have your very own "Cheese and Onion Dieppe"

Can I be the first person to sign up for all 13 rides, I have already booked my season pass to London for 2010.

"Oop north" ride in the calendar, get down to your LBS and stock up on winter attire in readiness (yes it may be June but that means sod all up here)

 

[Aperitif]

I'll be the second then... It's the other three or so Friday nights per month that are looking a bit dull...

 

[dellzeqq]

ah-ah. The rools is you get to sign up for rides in the month preceding.

Thanks to mike e, by the way, for sorting the half way stop. Apparently it's in the middle of the Humber. Bring your own bungee.

Thursday night to Newhaven gets us to Dieppe on the Friday afternoon, and, for me, at least, a tour of the magnificent market on Saturday morning.

Have you done the Newhaven - Dieppe ride before, I know it was mentioned last year or was it the year before?

it was mentioned. Interest was measurable only in minus numbers. That's why it's sort of an add-on ride. It may be that I'll be on my own, but, even if I am I'll still enjoy it.

Our DA organises something called the 'Dieppe Raid' but the number of regular riders who served in the forces at the time is dropping year by year. Why, some of our younger members weren't even born in 1942!

Aha, I thought you might be scouting out a fnrttc when you came up to Walton-on-the-Naze. I presume you're not doing the foot ferry, though, as I don't suppose it runs that early in the morning - and may not cope with 100 riders!
