FNRttC Friday Night Ride to the Coast York to Hull 19 April, 2013

[Wobblers]

A tentative yes from me - though I'll need to check the trains first before I'm sure.

You know you want to Davy. It'll be fun. We may even have time for some beers in Hull. It will be just like Dieppe!

I thought you were on the wagon?

Childcare commitments make me a no, unfortunately. But if there's anyone who needs a warm place to lurk in York before the off, let me know. And I'm sure I can smuggle a cake or two, maybe a flapjack or three, into someone's luggage. Just don't tell the boss, OK?

I can get on the 21:00, but there are no bike spaces Does anyone know whether I will be ok if I bag my bike up with the wheels off?

Yes - it's perfectly fine, as it's luggage then (which can still go in the guard's van).

Well I've done the deed. Booked on the 9.00pm from Kings Cross at the magnificent cost of £13.
I will be wrapping my bike in clingfilm and a poundland bike bag.
The intention is to ride home on Saturday afternoon after a snooze, although I've not worked out where I will be having this..
MMMMMMMartin. What time can you check in to the IBIS?

I have a very light-weight bike bag which can be rolled up tight enough to fit in a bottle cage. If anyone gets stuck for a bike reservation and could use it, let me know.

Or if anyone needed to use a bike bag to get their bike there but wanted to abandon it in York I could look after it until a handover possibility occurs (I do wander down to London on occasion) or indeed post!

I'm registered, looking forward to riding this again.

You riding back CU?

You riding back CU?

Probably not as I'm currently thinking of riding the Plains audax, 310km starting at 23:00 on the Saturday from near Stockport, so will need to get back to York earlier for some sleep.

Ah ok.

I was thinking about that ride as well, but I think I may have a go at the Full Monty as a perm on the week before instead.

You're harder than me.
I opted for the FNRttC over the audax.
I briefly considered trying to do both but I couldn't see how I'd manage it; I struggle enough on 200km rides as it is.
