[oldfatfool]

Can I stick my name on the list as a 'may turn up in Leeds randomer if the weather is good enough to camp'

I thought it meant smiling.

This is Wobblers you are talking about, remember?

I thought "beam time" meant you'd taken up gymnastics

I thought he'd missed the 'r' out and was a secret fisherman.

@nickyboy Only thing is, I've found that we've got beam time scheduled for September.....

?

Surely he means bean time, after the Llandudno trips he is hatching a plan to guarantee a tail wind....

Ping Ping !!

Here's everyone I can think of that has done a Llandudno or Scarborough ride that hasn't officially "Expressed Interest"

I haven't because I need to be back in Dewsbury by 9am Sunday morning and I'm awaiting an operation.

Put me down as a "maybe" because I'd need to ride back home afterwards or catch the train. What's the estimated arrival time in Scarborough, which I'd add a couple of hours to! @Freds Dad - which train did you book please?

I was pretty much the last one to the chippy and I got in a little before 1700, as I had a very leisurely last run from Malton to Scarborough after being abandoned by everyone else at the coffee stop.

As always it is a bit weather dependent

I'd say the earliest with a nice tailwind would be about 4.30pm to the chippy. Latest if we're unlucky enough to get a headwind on the day would be about 6pm. I can't remember exactly but I think we got there from about 4.45pm last year and other than the last 10 miles or so, we took it very steady

A big "unlike" for that

I don't remember that

We were in a big group going along Low Mariches Lane (that long,flat, quiet lane not long after Malton) and going very steadily. Surprised you didn't catch up given your speed. You must have stayed in the café a lot longer than most !

after being abandoned by everyone else at the coffee stop.

Yeah, I think the problem was when we stopped for a quick coffee and cake and you ordered one of these all for yourself.

And you know those pink ones with the white icing are my favourite, and I'd promised to be your BFF if you wanted to share, but no you ate the lot yourself while we set off in a big sulk.

Nickyboy, I can't remember if I confirmed my joyful presence on this ride or not , but I'm going to have to withdraw on the grounds that beloved non-cycling friends have yet to set (a) date(s) for their birthday celebrations.

Another big "unlike" for this

 

[nickyboy]

How big? As big as Wanda herself? As big as her personality and laugh?

Obviously bigger than Wanda herself, but no way could it be as big as her personality and laugh. That would be ridiculous
