Works for me, depending how the achy bits are holding up.

[David.]

Weather permitting and me feeling up to it, it's a deal.

[k9doc]

Good job. Anyone else?

Good job. Anyone else?

Count me in

Weather permitting for me

[David.]

Sorry guys, I've got myself all confused, my apologies.

Please can you confirm what you would prefer to do.

Option 1 - Meet at Thorp Arch for an 11:00 departure, riding together to the River Humber and possibly to the outskirts of York, split for home.

Option 2 - Make your own way to the River Humber for a lunchtime meet at 13:00, ride to the outskirts of York, split for home.

I'll go with the majority, my choice would be option 1, more riding together.

On reflection, I think I'll be doing the Thorp Arch to Barton on Humber then home. That's around 200 mile and at least 5 hours in the saddle. Plenty for me just now.

[David.]

I've spoken to Markus, my GS riding buddy, weather permitting, he'd by happy to do option 1 with me.

[David.]

That's around 200 miles and at least 5 hours in the saddle.

Same for me, 205 miles in just over 5 hours riding time.

[sakm]

Probably talking about 150 miles for me depending on the route I take

I'm fine with either option 1 or 2 to be honest

[David.]

I'm fine with either option 1 or 2 to be honest.

Option 1 is looking the most popular. Tim's cafe at Thorp Arch was your suggestion.

Tim's cafe at Thorp Arch was your suggestion.

It wasn't if it turns out crap

[David.]

This is a suggested route between Thorp Arch and River Humber.



65 miles in a riding time of ~2 hours with at P&T stop at McDonalds in Thorne which is halfway.
