FNRttC Friday Night Ride to the Coast - 16th May 2014, York to Hull

[ComedyPilot]

In an hour or so I am going to have a gentle pootle from Stamford Bridge to Chez @User10119 and my music of choice for the ride will be the Electric 6 'Fire' album.

Onna train.
It hazza bar.
The trick here is going to be to not wake up in Newcastle.

Don't worry @User10571 if it's a tipple you're after, me and @vernon might be able to facilitate a small something....

Thx.
But today's toll is already up to a shared bottle of Veuve, and a couple of glasses of Lanson.
Which I think is prolly quite enough.

Train problems in Leeds, most likely to arrive late in York - about 12.15. Could you pls advise Simon if he's nearby. Have emailed him separately.

Thanks in advance.

 

[User10119]

I don't know if that message got to Simon or not - they left on time, although there was definitely one person who turned up close to the departure moment. Fingers crossed!

I accompanied them along the first few streets of the ride, before turning Den-wards. The EldestCub was quietly excited, and seemed fighting fit after his 5 hour's kip. York's revellers were suitably perplexed by the sight of a FNRttC in full flight, and the inconvenient roadworks were no match for the the peleton.

Have a cracking ride everybody. I should see you for breakfast in Hull!

(p.s. I made it back home with two elbows intact)

 

[User10119]

I heard from the tandem about half an hour ago, at which point they were 14km from the bridge and going well. I'm just waiting for CrinklyAuntie who is due round the Den in the next half hour to facilitate another Cheats-Trip-To-Hull for me, making use of one of those new-fangled-automobilethings.

I ate cake for breakfast, btw.

Are they there yet?

It'd be such a shame if this ride was no more

I took the decision not to ride because of a mounting pile of real life issues that led to me cancelling everything over this weekend in favour of proper rest and relaxation. So I could work next week without being a total zombie again.

I feel guilty now, as well as being gutted to miss the ride :*-(

TC - you are missed. No beer kitty, no witty repartee. Not good.

A lovely ride. The Bridge is superb in early morning light.
