Here is the updated itinerary for the weekend...
Friday Friday arrivals from mid afternoon (3 o’clock) both hotels
http://www.golden-lion-hotel.co.uk/ and
https://www.allertoncourthotel.co.uk/Meals at Allerton Court on Friday are in a restaurant if you wish to partake 6-9pm and the Golden Lion 5-9pm (menus on website) NOT included in your stay and Allerton Court residents are welcome to eat at the Golden Lion. If anyone is getting close to the time cut off, text Mark on 07957684081 and I’ll try and sort for you.
After 9pm Friday: We have a demo app that I believe may be of interest to some of you based along the lines of an advisory/perm brevet card
After that if people are up for it we potentially have a couple of short films (not exclusive to the reunion but always a good focal point)
SaturdaySaturday Breakfast is served at Allerton Court between 8am-10am and The Golden Lion between 8am-10am.
Those wishing to ride Sat, I would suggest departure time of 9ish especially if riding the 100k+ routes
Local riders have planned the following routes and it will be up to individuals to ascertain not only which ride they wish to do, but to download GPX if they wish and to find the appropriate ride. At the reunion we have not traditionally had leaders. I will leave sign up sheets for each ride at reception Sat am so we have an idea who wishes to do each ride :
72km (easy) Thirsk, Topcliffe, Kirklington, Excelby, Bedale - pubs cafes and 20km back to Northallerton - route :

A dirty 50km You can have stops at High Paradise Farm (
http://www.highparadise.co.uk/tea-rooms.html) and the Rusty Bike in Swainby (
https://www.facebook.com/therustybikenorthyorkshire/), both decent cafes. The only offroad is the long stretch along the Drovers’ Road and down to Cod Beck Reservoir, then a rough bit near East Harsley. Nothing too strenuous, apart from Boltby Bank (but you turn off before the top) - route :
https://ridewithgps.com/routes/31404264On-road 50km With stops at Kirklevington Prison Cafe, and the Beeswing pub in East Cowton. Just pleasant lanes, but anyone who fancies a bit of A-road bashing can short cut down the A167 to Northallerton if they fancy. - route :
https://ridewithgps.com/routes/314042942.30-4.00pm The afternoon has AUK presentations, one on restructure of the AUK
regulations, one on the progress of the IT Refresh project, and another
on our financial situation. In the Troubadour Suite, Golden Lion. Coffee, Tea and biscuits will be available.
5-6pm Guest Speaker ‘Ian Walker’ with short questions after, in the Troubadour Suite, Golden Lion
7 for 7.30 Hot Fork Buffet in the Troubadour Suite, Golden Lion. We have bar facilities in the suite, followed by Annual Audax Trophy Presentation and after dinner speech by Ian Walker.
After this people may wish to socialise, have a few drinks but we will keep a couple of films up our sleeve for those who wish to enjoy them!
Sunday Sunday: Departure as and when after breakfast you wish.
