MrB - are you planning to ride back to NTR for a train or back to York or.....

I'm (still) trying to work out whether to head to NTR or DAR for a train.

Karla · « **Reply #201 on:** 04 July, 2012, 09:38:57 pm »

That was my plan, yes. I'm a bit underlit at the moment.

I missed bog snorkelling?

Ah well, there's always Cardiff...

Some of that water looked almost hub deep.

And Dean thought he'd come back in time to miss the monsoon!

LindaG · « **Reply #205 on:** 06 July, 2012, 12:59:39 am »

That was, indeed, splendid. And the water was hub deep torslanda!

I am almost dry now...

Only almost...

*wishing*

tiermat · « **Reply #208 on:** 06 July, 2012, 11:06:38 am »

A few, choice pics....

Obv. me, in, as tiptop put it, "Gay pirate mode"... Thanks, tiptop, I will remember that....

This one from last week, sorry have only just remembered I took some on my dash from Thirsk to NTR...

Unremarkable? Bear in mind the last two were taken at about 23:00.....

As for last night, my boots are still soaked through and there is a puddle settling under the InBred in the garage.

At some point I am sure I will a) dry out and b) warm up. Might not be until next year though

Thanks, everyone - that was a grand welcome back

I think the mud from last September's ride up Foxton Lane is off my tyres now.

A few photos, of one of the larger puddles. Not the largest, mind - I did wonder if CL might have to be fitted with a snorkel for that one...

A couple of the returned wanderer himself

I have organised:

1) a babysitter for Thursday
2) my younger brother to join us

This means that this weeks will be going via Thirsk, to wherever (possibly Dalton, again).

My younger brother shall be riding his Dave Yates built Flying Scot, which some kind person gave to him as a birthday present.....

CrinklyLion · « **Reply #212 on:** 11 July, 2012, 09:15:08 am »

Indeed... they sound like an all-round good egg

Usual time and place? I'm _fairly_ sure it must be my round too.

LindaG · « **Reply #213 on:** 11 July, 2012, 09:17:40 am »

Yes most generous.

I've got a birthday coming up too.

Is that a hint?

LindaG · « **Reply #215 on:** 11 July, 2012, 09:33:44 am »

Maybe

LindaG · « **Reply #216 on:** 11 July, 2012, 07:11:07 pm »

Which pub this week? So I can finalise transport.

tiermat · « **Reply #217 on:** 12 July, 2012, 09:58:37 am »

Weather looking good for today, so hopefully no bog-snorkelling tonight.

Apparently we may have not one, but two new ~~victims~~ riders tonight.

SlowCoach · « **Reply #218 on:** 12 July, 2012, 01:44:17 pm »

I can't make it tonight - but appear to have a meeting booked in my diary for early evening of Thursday 19th July (in N/A of course)

Thank you for reminding me of that meeting

You appear to be upping the ante here Crinkly.
Am I going to have to start taking pictures of Ginger Marble when I have one after a ride ?

Deano · « **Reply #222 on:** 13 July, 2012, 12:49:18 am »

"After"?! Lightweight.

tiermat · « **Reply #223 on:** 13 July, 2012, 07:20:14 am »

That was the first, drunk mid-ride

James said to me, I still thought you were a serious load of cyclists until we got to the pub and saw you guys drinking beer and filling your faces with food!

A grand night it was. Perfect weather, nice lanes, bats, bunnies and other wildlife abounded. I got back at just after midnight.

Deano · « **Reply #224 on:** 15 July, 2012, 11:50:15 am »

Me n LG took the long way to the pub..

Over the ranges to Marske:

And stopped off at a couple of pubs, bike shops and churches, though we didn't find the grave of the 169-year-old man in Bolton on Swale.

It was a good run, with proper northern skies.
