York Ride

[craigwend]

We're hoping to arrange something for 12th September for the Tour of Britain aren't we? I think the plan was to meet in Pocklington for the sprint section then head to York hopefully in time to see the finish. Unfortunately it's a Saturday again.

Yes : I'll try & 'sort out' details nearer the time,

& naughty TOb for it being a saturday!!

(I prefer sundays for family reasons as well).

I'm still wondering if I can make it back to York before the pros!

Cycling with Park & Ride

Free cycle parking is available at all Park & Ride sites for those who want to take advantage of the fast bus link into the city. Alternatively, you can park your car at a site (Grimston Bar, Rawcliffe Bar or Designer Outlet only) and cycle the rest of the way into the city. :

Thats me sorted then -all being well

Andy / Shaun are you still going / how you getting there?

i might ride over if i'm feeling fit enough, more likely to be looking to get the train

cheers,

velocidad.

Oh, just to say, I do hope to be coming along, but I've had a nasty cold the last couple of days - I'm hoping to be over it completely by Saturday - at the most, it'll slow me down up hill. Not that anyone will notice!

If you are on the train, get a return ticket

£17.50 single or £18.20 return IIRC

Definately this Saturday.

Thanks. I should be there.

So should I. What time & place for the meet, cos I'll be riding there on my hybrid/clanker and riding home, so need notice for the early start.

 

[HelenD123]

9.45 at the Minster I think.

Meet at the Minster at 9.30. Depart for Hovingham 9.45 am.

 

[Arch]

West End of the Minster, where High and Low Petergate and Duncombe Place meet....

I'm afraid I am going to have to give this ride a miss as it looks like I'm going to have to travel to a funeral at some point over the weekend.

Hope everyone has a good time.

 

[Gerry Attrick]

It looks like I should be ok for the ride, so I look forward to meeting you all tomorrow.

Is the ride still going ahead given this thread? I'll volunteer to lead it but it'll have to be pot luck with the refreshment stops as I don't know the area or pubs/tea rooms.

i'm still in. as long as someone gets me back to york i don't mind who leads, and arch will know the eating places i'm sure setting off at 10 rather than 9.45 might help me out a bit though. if it's fine i'm going to ride to york on route 65, and some parts don't really allow you to go flat out. but i reckon if i set off at 6am i should be there by 10. if i don't get lost that is

It would be good to organise a ride to which member's wives and girlfriends would be encouraged to come as there seems to be a shortage of the fairer sex on the rides. We are usually outnumbered by 15 to 3 or 4 at times! Not that I am complaining. An easy route along the old railway line to Selby and back, perhaps, or is that just too tame?

That sounds good. I think we've more or less managed a ride (or for July, a camping holiday) every month since May, and it would be nice to keep it up, even if shorter daylight leads to shorter rides, and a more localised group for a month or two.

Nowt wrong with Selby and back, I reckon, might be ideal for the winter months to have a few shorter routes with plenty of scope for stopping at village pubs/cafes etc to warm up....





I can't make it this week but If there is one in york next month then please keep me posted

Alas no, it's not a side of York I know well (hills, you see).

The show must go on, though.
