FNRttC York to Hull Friday Night Ride - 23rd June 2017

[Pale Rider]

@User10119 makes mac'n'cheese of legend.

Ask her about the bread and butter pudding at the last LEL at the Barnard Castle control.

She was churning out catering sized trays of it - in the small hours - which were scoffed within minutes.

Oh, and in Selby a child commented "It's Santa"

Very perceptive!

We _may_ have a new record for number of cyclists+bikes in the Den. Must do a head count...

A complete stranger asked me if I was a communist. Clearly didn't appreciate a FNRttC top in First Class.

I always think it's more Syrian than anything else.

Have a good ride everyone !!

Wrong bike, wrong gearing, wrong setup, and most of all, wrong saddle.

But a bloomin' marvellous ride nonetheless.

A safe arrival in Hull.

Good job, hopefully the weather was good.

Never having previously experienced @crinkly lion's hospitality, I have to say she was amazing. House and outside stuffed with bikes, with cyclists taking over what space was left. Yet still managing to provide sustenance to those present and then leading the assembled troupe to the Minster, when yet more food was produced. Remarkable

Good job, hopefully the weather was good.

The weather was, well, a factor. It joined in and made its presence felt.

Good to see all the troublemakers with Pingly the passive aggressive elf on the one table

Nice to see the colours of the 167.

Great ride. About 20 minutes of light rain that didn't necessitate donning rainwear.
Warm enough to warrant only the obligatory FNRttC shirt plus a yellow fleecy thing and windproof gilet. Shorts, no long gloves needed. So all good.
Stonking grub at halfway and @Flying Dodo used his good skills to ensure we can go back next year. Which I hope we will as this is one of the best rides we do. Hardly saw a car for hours. And 'Spoons does a decent breakfast for a few quid. Its coffee is merely average though.
The whole thing went like clockwork, a sign of good planning. One visitation and a minor problem with a gear.
And special thanks deserved by @User10119 for making riders feel so welcome. Great CAIK. Nom.
