That's a shame dan, but it's quite a long way! Somebody will beat TimO's record of furthest distance from home, I'm sure, but it doesn't look like this ride.
I think there'll be eleven of us:
Deano
Graeme
Markcjagar
Andyoxon
Debs (notp)
Boab
Arminius
EllysH + 1
Col (notp)

Should be able to manage without a TEC. I'll make sure we regroup from time to time (usually, we regroup a couple of times in the lanes, then in Malton, obviously at the tea stop in Thornton, then probably at the top of Saltergate and Blue Bank. We have also stopped on the descent of Blue Bank in Sleights, to decide which route to take into Whitby, but we'll see what sort of time we're there).
Cake in the oven, I'll do the rest on Friday.
