Strines ride (just outside Peaks) Sheffield

[marinyork]

Shame I can't meet you at Morrisons for breakfast. It's starting to sound like quite a nice pre-ride social event.

That will be the 'Safeway' of doing it longers...don't expect miracles though, a mouseketeer can get lost in reverie - let alone 170 miles!

He'll 'Asda' be on the look out for cars with bikes in the car park!

 

[longers]

Is Sheffield Parkway legal on bike? I can just follow the A57 all the way then.

My new signature denotes my "leaning's".

Are you ok with it? any amendments necessary? I wasn't formally invited as such. Can I get a new jumper like TC's and Mac's?

Yeh sure, whatever... (Sorry, just been inhaling next door's 'fags' )

mouseketeer noun m/f a person who has performed an exceptional, unlikely or humourous sortie on a bicycle (for the most part) whilst under the influence of CycleChat, and also in the presence of another 'fledged' member whilst undertaking said adventure. Origin: "The Manningtree Six"

No. It's the only road that isn't. Bottom half isn't too bad, it's just what they classified it when they built it. You're not even allowed to cycle on the slip roads although there is an error as it doesn't say you can't cycle on one of them.

Non-parkway route to Darnall is all right. One then has to use the ruddy Golf Course or go round the completely pointless airport link road (which is not exactly direct). It's the problem I have of getting there for breakfast and then racing back into town by a roundabout way.

No need to race marin - if the guts on board say 'yum yum' you'll know where we will be!

I'll have space in my car for a couple of people and bikes when driving into town, if it helps?

D'oh.

 

[longers]

Ok, I'll want Saville St, Attercliffe Rd, Staniforth Rd and then Handsworth rd to Highfield Spring to get to the supermarket?

 

[mike e]

D'oh.

Raw bread mikee...

Yeah I forgot that .

That might be a better idea marinyork, the London posse could perhaps grab some breakfast before venturing off into those big hills...

Forgot to add, cafe opens at 8.00am

Despite earlier getting good advice from Marin York about meeting out of town, I'll have a go at getting over to Morrisons and keep an eye out for likely looking sorts.

Anywhere near the station, with a table for one, for a quick bite Marinyork?

I'm working on that. There is of course Debenhams in the station . Unfortunately the nearest famous place literally across the road doesn't open on a Saturday till after the ride starts . All the places in Hillsborough I checked are open well before we get there though.

 

[longers]

Oh bugger, if Redjedi is going to be on his tod at the station then I'll go there instead. Probably easier for me as well actually.

Maybe they could smuggle us a butty out of the supermarket. HP for me please.

I haven't a clue and need telling what to do as to what's best, rather than thinking for myself.
