"Sig Nature" ride - Tuesday 29th December

[Aperitif]

'Teef all this mention of domesticity, housework and traditional values....I reckon you'd make a fine candidate for the WI - where's your pinny?

Unreconstituted man me. The WI is jam tarts, right?

Never diluted? Oh I don't know 'Teef - those puns reach far and wide in CC land!!

Here is WI for your perusal, though you mentioning jam tarts means that you have to now bake some for the ride...

however, one thing precluding you from membership is being a man....I'm sure Davy could sort you out there.

My pupils dilute every now and then...when I get watery eyes. They get cornea...

when there's an eye roll emoticon following your own post 'Teef, that's a sign things are really bad...

 

[marinyork]

I was looking at this. Is there room for one more northern nutter? When is a start time/route likely to be agreed?

 

[ttcycle]

Always room for more...plans are being finalised/drafted at the moment - so no solid route yet - Mike e has posted his train times though -might give you an indication for booking tickets down if you need to book in advance.

The plan is to roll out from Hertford around 10am ish. I will meet Mike e at Stevenage station and then ride over to Hertford to meet the rest of you. So marinyork it would be good if you can get a train around the same time as Mike and we can all ride over together.

The ride will be around 46miles for those that start in Hertford and 70ish for the Stevenage posse.

A bit closer to the ride I will take roll calls for the 2 start points.

You mean you will be helping the Northern posse in?
mikee's probably going to know the way but you'll be helping to 'cook the other one's goose'.He'll be marin aided...

Too right, apparently because I use the same gear nearly all the time on flatter rides some people were worried that my gears were broken .

I was riding with marin at the velodrome the other night and he asked about this ride. I've told him he can only come along if he rides the Bianchi...

I'm catching the train from Hull, then change at Doncaster, then change at Peterborough (It would probably be easier to ride there...)

So you could train it from Sheffield to meet me at Doncaster, I have just checked and you would have to catch the:-

06:18 Sheffield - 06:56 Doncaster
07:25 Doncaster - 08:25 Peterborough
08:39 Peterborough - 09:06 Stevenage

Cost of ticket if you book now - £18.25, I paid £22.70 from Hull

Coming back

19:47 Stevenage - 20:38 Peterborough
20:46 Peterborough - 21:38 Doncaster
21:48 Doncaster - 22:21 Sheffield

Cost of ticket if you book now - £13.80, I paid £16.90 to Hull

Don't forget to book your bike (Bianchi) on the train as well.
