Leeds to Scarborough Saturday September 24: The Yorkshire Adventure

If it's anything like the Llandudno ride there's likely to be a faster group anyway. I'm not likely to dawdle too much as I have limited beer time.

If it's anything like the Llandudno ride there's likely to be a faster group anyway. I'm not likely to dawdle too much as I have limited beer time.

The roolz are as follows:

We all stick together until at least the first café stop. It is supposed to be a group ride after all

After the first stop we can split up into whatever groups we want. But with one proviso; if the weather is tricky, such as an Easterly, I want the faster riders to stick with the less fast to help them out. A lot of the ride is very exposed. Fast folk please do not ride off into the distance if the weather is causing others to struggle

After Malton (the late lunch stop) it's only 20 odd miles to go. Leave whenever you've finished eating as suits

Yeah I meant pretty much that I wouldn't dawdle from Malton. Can always have some extra cake though

Get me to Malton then feel free to leave me to complete at a more relaxed pace, I will get there before last orders at spoons

Picked the train tickets up today for the journey back.
Two trains to catch and the machine dished out EIGHT seperate tickets...including a seat reservation ticket (marked "Seat ***" ) for the Northern service back from York even though Northern don't do seat reservations...

A few days in Whitby at end of summer hols and took train to Scarborough

This is how you have to imagine it will (OK "may") look. North Bay looking south to the Castle

Luckily the gale wind doesn't show up on photographs...

Alas, I'm going to have to bow out of this one: it turns out I'll be shoving samples in front of a particle accelerator that weekend. I'll think of you downing your well deserved pints whilst I'll be stuck in the armpit of Oxfordshire changing samples at some ungodly hour. I suspect the words "Jammy sods" may be muttered at some point...

Pity. But enjoy accelerating your particles (we will be similarly accelerating down the hill to Scarborough South Bay). I'll move you from the "Expressions of Interest" list to the "Expressed interest but can't make it" list. I'm maintain this so others can see who can't make it, rather than their names just disappear off the list

For anyone who fancies it, there will be the usual carbohydrate loading opportunity the evening before the ride

Pub as last time:http://www.marblebeers.com/marble-arch/

Doesn't matter of you're doing the ride or not, all welcome. This is a selection of what's "on" at the moment.....

A few pints of the Earl Grey IPA would ensure I struggled on the ride

Sadly I'll be unable to join in the pre-loading as my passport has expired.

Which is a shame as it would be worth it traveling over t'hill just to order a pint of Pint

All being well I'll see you at the Marble Arch again. I'm going to try to have one less beer than last time though. What time you getting there, can't remember if it was 6.30 or 7.30 last time.

Good stuff. Anytime is good for me, one of the benefits of being self employed

I'm waiting for @rich p usual "New Mills" excuse for non-attendance

I ended up doing a small section of the ride today from Ulleskelf to Wheldrake (some of it the other way though!) as I went and did the 60 mile Selby Sportive route as a bit of a training ride. Looks a nice route Nick although I had to battle the S/SSW wind At least we'll be heading the other way with the tail wind!! <crossesfingers>

My musings are here : My Ride Today

My plans are as yet undecided. I might do a couple of days riding beforehand, somewhere thereabouts, which would mean I'll be glugging my pre-race beer elsewhere. I'm feeling pretty indecisive!

 

[doughnut]

I used to be indecisive, but I'm not so sure that I am anymore.
