Bump. Some of you will remember the delightfully bonkers Inner Space petrol station we passed on the old route out of York....they had a new addition to the attractions. The least dull ATM you've ever seen....

those who have specifically asked for the emails, r

I've just re-signed one email address (it had fallen off the list) but the other seems to be having trouble. Can a web guru take a look please?

 

[mmmmartin]

Your gmail account with some numbers in it has signed up to the main list for email updates, but that's the only one in the past two days.

(And @srw is not signed up for York to Hull either, but I think that's not what you are asking about.)

That's one of the few places I've actually bought petrol from in the last n years, and it's a delight.

Ok I'm in. Need to decide whether I'm being sensible or bringing the singlespeed

As spmsome who climbs like a sprinter and sprints like a climber, I managed happily last year on fixed. There is one ok hill, followed by one not ok hill, requiring 24" gear.

Oh I know the hills. South Ferriby is the awkward one. Also I might be riding back which takes in the long hill out of Hull up to the Weedley transmitters.

 

[GrumpyGregry]

I will be bringing 29 more gears than last time.

Martin room for a small one on this ride still? assumimng I can get trains tickets I'd like to have a pedal?

 

[mmmmartin]

Yes no probs.
(Am in Normandy on the annual Fridays Tour.
It's a blast.
My mind is on other things though right now.
Did I say how much fun this Tour is?)

 

[sagefly]

Alas, work has got in the way and I wont be joining the York ride.

I hear the Tour is quite fun................

 

[mmmmartin]

Tour is indeed great fun. Worked out really well. Having a base means folk can have a day off from the hills if they want.
Weather has been FAB, BTW

 

[ceepeebee]

my work has also got in the way, not to mention we've got our first babysitter in months on the saturday night so I can take mrs ceepeebee out for a birthday tea - can't be falling asleep at the table for that.

 

[StuAff]

Boo! @sagefly and Hiss! @ceepeebee Sorry you two can't make it.
Tour reporting has been a bit slack, but we've been a bit busy with eating, drinking, nattering and occassionally even cycling to write anything. Soz. I came back tonight, as I'm going to see Ministry in the smoke tomorrow night. Final ride was a 22 mile time trial. At the halfway stop for today's ride- which was on my way anyway- I realized I had two hours to get to Ouistreham in time for check-in. Made it with 20 minutes to spare...
