If you want a lead-out at 15.5 mph then e-bikes are perfect, but not so hot if you expect to be paced at 30+ mph!
15.5mph is more than enough

I have been getting a bit distracted by other rides and a forthcoming holiday in Wales, but this ride is still on.
I might not be able to get Internet access while I am away but will definitely be back online by the 27th.
@Littgull and I are still trying to finalise our travel plans to/from York. Doing the full journeys by Northern trains would take us about 2.5 hours each way so we will have to work out whether we can face that on top of a long day out on the bikes!
I will try to update the first post of the thread with our route and other details before I go on my holiday.
Hello Colin,
Can I join you on this ride pls. Tickets bought. Expect to arrive in York at 8.04am. Train from York leaves at 6.21pm - expect we'll arrive back in York by 6 ish?
I think Colin is away for a week or ten days, but no doubt he will be pleased you are joining us.
Return by six-ish is a touch ambitious, closer to 7pm is more likely.
The leg back to York from the bridge on the new route is longer, so if you are struggling for time there's a possibility of reducing the miles by using the old, more direct, route.
There are a number of road closures in York that day, due to York Pride. I don't think they'll affect you, as the actual closures for the parade aren't until 10.30 and the roads should have reopened long before you are heading back into York, but the details are all here in case.NB For those of you who have done previous editions of the ride - remember that we will start from the front of York railway station this time!
