Need any squares out that way ?

 

[Supersuperleeds]

I might be in, is it 50-62 mile round trip or just out to the cafe? I don't need any squares around there

Round trip Cossington to Cossington

I'm in then. I've got a big weekend the week before as I'm planning on going up to Hull and am thinking of riding up on the Friday and riding back on the Sunday, with a forum ride chucked in on the Saturday! Fancy joining me?

Yep, quite a few but 2 in particular. Will send you a screenshot when I'm on the computer next.

@Supersuperleeds, had I a little more holiday and planning time, I was considering that ride too!

Won't be able to get time off on Friday . How far is Hull ?

 

[Supersuperleeds]

Around 110 miles from my house. If the weather isn't favourable I'm thinking of getting the train to Lincoln, as it's only 50 miles from there.

Good luck , bit far for me at this stage of my recovery plan but enjoy !

So the plan is to stick to the original route . I have planned a different route back from Cafe if you really don't want to do Cold Overton we can decide on the day
Meet Cossington 0900 cafe at 32 miles so around 11.15 45 minute stop another 2 hours back to Cossington so back by 1430

Cool, either that or I'll meet you at Pickwell and just miss that bit! Don't want to deprive you of that square!

Of note, with a bit of faffing at Hallorton, we could get an extra 3 squares as it's pretty much on an apex.
