FNRttC dates for 2010

[Arch]

we'll be leaving from the Minster at midnight (so feel free to invite us round for pre-ride snacks) and, while there's no decision yet, I think we'll go via Melbourne to Market Weighton - but all depends on the road surfaces, and a recce of the junction between the A1079 and the ring road (there's a slightly iffy right turn involved). There's no substitute for nighttime recces, which we'll do in the spring. We sometimes use roads that are grim during the daytime, but empty at night.

We aim to cross the Humber Bridge at sunrise. You could catch the 7.18 or the 8.28 from Cleethorpes (this is from the winter timetable, mind you) and be back in York at 9.04 or 10.16.

Send me your e-mail address, and I'll send you the 2010 guide

If you mean on the edge of York, taking the Elvington road, then it's not so bad - there are lights at that right turn now, and for the faint hearted (me, often!), a cycle path round the big roundabout...

I'm torn, I really am - maybe I'll see how I feel nearer the time - I'll have just been recumbenting through France for a fortnight, so I'll either be super fit, or knackered. I'll be no good to Pete if I'm half asleep all day...

Perhaps if you want any local knowledge on your recces, and it's not a work day the next day, I can help?

I'd love to invite you all for pre-ride socialising, but any more than about 4 would have to come up in shifts! Jeez, that would get the neighbours talking!

I should have mentioned that we've had 37 expressions of intent from Martlets for the March 26th ride so far, so I reckon that they'll be able to hit their target of 50.

I'll let you know when it's on. My skill with the NEXP website is not up to Mikee standards, but I'm looking for cheap fares in March.

have no fear. We'll smuggle Davy up in a saddlebag.

It's fine at that time. I used to go past that roundabout on training rides all the time. I used to do the majority of my riding to the east of York in and in the dark.

I pestered mike e about giving him a bit of help on routes but he didn't seem particularly interested.

he was wildly interested - but, unfortunately I couldn't venture north due to troubles in the reproductive region....

I'm good for a ride but I'd rather it was after 1st February unless it gets like the autumn again and is stupidly warm.

the Martlets is bringing them in - 11 today, just under 50 in all. There's going to be a bit of weeding out, because the Hospice wants to raise money.

What it doesn't mention is that there will be a sag wagon.

Shame about some of the more idiotic comments below the article...

I have registered with The Argus - only ''interference' stopped me posting this time around.
I'll be back. (I should have put my username as 'WestPier', but I'm not that quick of thought)

whehee, york to cleethorpes.

BTW as i ran the marathon for Help the Hospital and was overwhelmed by generosity i have a tenner for the first paticipant on the charity ride who asks.

that's great. Some of the regular riders will be carrying sponsorship forms and some won't. So I leave it to them. Sponsorship forms are available from fnrttc@yahoo.co.uk
