At least one of its clients was very good natured.

I missed this - what happened?

I missed this - what happened?

From the thread for last year's ride:-

That reminds me; when were riding through the docks, a local (presumably on his way home from the club) called out "Am I tripping or what ?" as the cavalcade, lights a-flashing swept past. I yelled back "No, it's real but you'll wonder if it was a dream in the morning."

I'm booked on the 7.30 from Kings X. If you don't mind getting there very early we could get lost together!

 

[LouiseL]

Yes please! I'm getting to Victoria ridiculously early, as I always allow myself lots of getting-lost time, due to long and bitter experience. We can always go off and drink beer/eat cake in the interim.

Sounds a good plan.

I have a ticket for the 8pm train from King's Cross....
Has anyone booked a timed train back to London on the Saturday yet...

FWIW I'm on the 9pm from Kings Cross, and the 3.30pm from Hull the next day.
I might be up for meeting you & Louise L at KingsX before L's 7.30 train. Or earlier somewhere else for food?

 

[martint235]

Looks like no one wants to ride up to York anymore so I've admitted defeat and bought a ticket for the 9pm train.

 

[Soltydog]

I decided on an open ticket back from Hull so not committed to any particular train, but having to travel on south from London means I wouldn't want to leave it too late.

Just a bit of a warning for those travelling back to London on the train. Hull city are playing away at West Ham on that Saturday, so there may be more than normal travelling Hull to London that Saturday morning

happily not many of them will be taking their bikes!

BSOs maybe Probably advisable to book a seat tho, riding through the night then not getting a seat on the train back to London wouldn't be too pleasant.
What's the cut off for registering on this ride? I need to sort out CTC membership/insurance first.

April 13th or thereabouts

 

[Mice]

Yay! The plot thickens! We can sort out the details closer to the time . I decided on an open ticket back from Hull so not committed to any particular train, but having to travel on south from London means I wouldn't want to leave it too late.

Double Yay! And then there were four! I am now booked on the 8pm train so will happily join up for a pre-FNRttC-jolly!

[Andrew Br]

Are there any plans for a pre-ride get together in York ?
My train arrives is scheduled to arrive at 22.06 so I'll be up for a refreshing beverage and, maybe, some sort of wholesome, toothy comestibles.

I'm a maybe at the mo. so might have to be a last minute entry if I can swing it.

I've had the ok to go, but I have a meeting to go to near home at 7pm. I'm hoping to get the 21.33 train from Hull to Selby, arriving there just after 10pm, then cycling upto York if you fancy that?

I'll bear it in mind, thanks. I won't know until much nearer the time.
