York Ride

[Tinytwin]

I am considering a ride from York (Minster as usual) to Hovingham via Welburn and Castle Howard (potential tea-stops); lunch at Hovingham tea room if there are just a few of us wanting sandwiches (bakery attached). If there are a number of us, the pub would be better as the tea-room is very slow. Return via Gilling East and Farlington.
It will be a hilly ride after Thornton-le-Clay, and after lunch there is unlikely to be anywhere to pick up sugar supplies until we reach Haxby, for those of you prone to sugar lows at the end of the day! The route is about 46 miles, 74 km. I am looking at Saturday the 8th or 15th. Anyone interested in going and which date is the more favourable? I will try to get a map up and running with a link to it in a bit. I have tried bikehike.co.uk to no avail -the link it gives me does not work, nor does the print page. Meet at Minster 9.30; depart 9.45 am.

Count me in. At the moment either date is fine for me, and I don't think anything will crop up...

Would a Sunday be possible? Spandex can't generally do Saturdays.

 

[spandex]

I cant do Saturdays as HelenD123 said and I can not do the weekend of the 15/16th as my work is doing the Festival of Cycling in York.

Um, I'm up for those. And I'll see if I can drum up any further interest...

Consider my interest drummed up.

Please move my interest from the 'Wasn't aware' pile, to the 'Checking diary' pile.

Could probably do the 15th, unless those maniacs in Manchester decide on another track do on that day.

 

[ComedyPilot]

Also, what time is 'setting off' time, as I would have a 30 mile warm up ride to get to the start?

 

[Bokonon]

I'm giving it consideration. I don't think anything is happening that would prevent me doing it at the moment (weather excepting!)

 

[velocidad]

i'd be interested

 

[hulver]

Thanks to Uncle Phil for pointing this ride out to me.

I'm away on the weekend of the 15th though. Shame, sounds like a good ride.

 

[Gerry Attrick]

I am definitely interested, but I couldn't say I can make it for certain until very near the day. How far in advance do you need to know?

 

[galaxy1]

The weekend of the 15th would be better for me.I'm not going to be around on the 8/9th.
Thanks to uncle phil for letting me know

 

[craigwend]

Yes I register my interest, i'll confirm when the date is confirmed.

Possibly prefer the 8th/9th

 

[Soltydog]

I'd love to come along, but can't make either of these dates
