OK folks, it is nearly here and time I pulled my finger out and got things sorted at my end! After an intense round of summer holiday engagements I have now turned my attention to The Most Important Trip of the summer and today I managed to book my Trans-Pennine train tickets and bike reservations from Stalybridge to Leeds on Saturday morning. The helpful chap at the ticket desk reassured me there would be no strike or engineering works affecting their service so if it all works out as expected I should be disembarking at Leeds station at exactly 08.30hrs.
I have accommodation, train to the start and a lift home from Mrs Skol.
I have re-read the thread from start to finish and this seems to be the list of definites, and maybes that are still maybes?
@I like Skol + son
@si_c (Depends on trains???)
@NorthernDave as far as York(ish)
@Julia9054
@Almartino
@Moodyman (not heard from since 1st page)
@ColinJ & @Littgull
@Crackle
@EasyPeez
@Buck & Gil
@Kestevan
@nickyboy
@alibaba
@DiddlyDodds as far as Cawood?
Please can people now confirm their attendance so we know who we are expecting on the day?
Also, let's finalise the car share service being provided by Mrs Kestevan and Mrs Skol.
The people expected in my car(Mrs Skol) so far are Me, my son & @alibaba. There is still room for one more person with bike.
Mrs Kestevan was originally lined up to bring back Mr Kestevan, Buck & Gil but I believe Buck & Gil are not attending now so if the offer is still available that could be a way to get some riders back towards the ride start and as far as Huddersfield/Holmfirth.
If nobody else needs the lift in the Kestevan bus then Kestevan could take the final seat in my car and save Mrs K the trip. I expect to leave Scarborough around 10-10.30 on Sunday after finding somewhere to have breakfast.
Speak up now if you want a lift and confirm your place.
Weather forecast is looking changeable at the moment depending on which service you look at. It may just be dull with sunny spells or we might cop for the odd shower? Temps of 15˚C or higher, so not too cold, and on a positive note we should have a good tailwind of at least 10mph pushing us along towards the fish and chip finish and a well earned pint (or tipple of your choice
).
I'm remaining optimistic that this will be another great forum ride and hopefully the moon and stars have aligned for you guys to allow you to take part too.
This is the final count down and hopefully I will be seeing you on Saturday at the usual spot here -
