England : West Yorkshire Sat 9th Nov 10am - Pugney's, Wakefield - LEJOG / CC ride

[DCLane]

A number of us in West Yorkshire were discussing doing a LEJOG next year; @oiljam @colly @Gary Newton @Martin Archer @Moodyman following the above thread started by @Michael Donohoe who's never been seen since!

As a result we're meeting up this Saturday 9th at 10am for a 30 mile-ish ride: "Its a cracking ride through some beautiful country roads. About 30-35 miles. Route is Walton, Notton, Woolley, Cannon Hall, Cawthorne, Ryhill and back. Some climbs including Jebb Lane. Can stop for coffee if anyone needs to at cannon hall."

Pugneys Country Park, WF2 7EQ meet point on Saturday 9th at 10am.There'll be a £2 charge for parking if anyone is coming by car.

Would any other CC-er's like to join us?

 

[oiljam]

Thanks for that. I'm in for sure. Lets hope some more interest is gathered from this.

 

[Moodyman]

Indeed, count me in.

Hi gents,

I've recently signed up for the Deloitte Ride Across Britain LEJOG event that is next September. This is a 9-day event, so similar to what you are thinking about for next year. Therefore I wouldn't be up for another LEJOG session with you all, but I certainly would be up for joining up for some training rides if we are all in a fairly local area and working towards some similar goals.

I can get out this Saturday if you don't mind me gatecrashing with a slightly different agenda?

You'd be welcome Steve.

Good. Someone to hide behind if it gets windy.

Cheers @colly. Long time, no see!

 

[DCLane]

OK, so far we have:

oiljam
Gary Newton
Steve H
DCLane - tbc when cleared with SWMBO
Moodyman - if not
colly - if not

 

[colly]

Weather looks ok if not brilliant so unless the Met office are waaay off I should be ok.

Is that the Asda car park ?

 

[oiljam]

@colly....its the water park behind Asda. I'm thinking there maybe parking restrictions at Asda if you come by car

 

[colly]

@oiljam I'll probably be riding down. I don't fancy going on a hunt for 'lost' looking cyclists.

Here's the latest from the bbc website - should be ok early on, but we might get wet on the way back:

Yorkshire and Humber
Forecast Summary

• Saturday
  Mainly dry and bright through the morning. However, there may be a few showers during the afternoon, becoming dry and bright again later. Winds mainly light, but feeling cold.

Met Office suggests 60% chance of rain from around 3pm so it looks like we shall be OK.
