Have a great day, xmas & new year to those I don't see
(knicking thread a bit)
Anyone (E-Yorks) fancy a night ride /drink before xmas?
Thought we might set off from Beverley up to CP's local, like last years ride??? (CP you will need to be the 'pilot' if free?)
Helen managed to hit my 2500 miles tonight, oh the joy of night riding.
I am game. Just need a dry night, and I'll ride down, meet up, ride to South Dalton, have a brew, then drop you all off in Beverley before riding home.

Well, if the others are up for it, I'm game for Pocklington - we know a good cafe...
When we did Admin's birthday ride, we got to Pock about 1pm, having stopped off at the Balloon Tree on the way. I'll PM my mobile number to you and CP, and we can make a firm plan by the end of the week maybe.
Everyone better come well prepared with lights - it was getting dark when we got back last time - although we did spend a lot of time in the cafe, partly due to the nice chat, and partly due to overrunning the poor girl making the sandwiches... If it comes to it, there's the shorter (but not so nice) way back that cuts some distance off.
We could, I suppose, cut out the Balloon Tree on the way out, that might cut out a half/threequarters of an hour, and try to catch it on the way back instead.... Or, shock/horror, not go there...
What would people prefer? The route back isn't too bad in the dusk, and if we get away from Pocklington quicker it'll be lighter...

Me too.
Given that last time we lit the sky for miles, I don't think I need lights
Looking at a route now, (not as long as last time - more time in the pub)
Also doing a thread so as not to hijack this one

How about you CP & anyone else? (Helen,Solty,Veloc,etc...)
Not sure where I'll be first part of that week apart from I won't be working, but the chances are I will be in Northallerton that week on the 23 and 24 and come home late Xmas eve to start work Xmas day.

So I reckon we can cut out the BT
Ok, then that sounds like the best plan. Nice to have time to sit over lunch in Pock.
Ok, so it looks like we'll arrive in Pock around 12-12.30. I suggest we meet CP and Bandini at the cafe - if we get there first we'll make a chalk mark on the pavement, if they get there first, they can rub it out....
By which I mean, whoever gets there first can bag a table and sit over a coffee...
I have a few spare rear backup lights, flashy ankle bands etc I can bring in case it does get dusky.

I work your route to be 17 miles each way Arch, and mine and Bandini's roughly 19 each way. Our elevation profile might be a bit interesting though!
