Did we come second in the quiz?

I remember having a wee in a field on the way back and falling over a bit. The beer was nice. And Deano did 95 miles before the pub run. And there was a pie with cheese in it. Chips also.

I miss all the exciting nights out . . .

Mmmm ..... fajitas!

Were very good! Though a bit too much, even though I'd ridden a long way for them.

FYI, next week is Pie Week at the Farmer's Arms in Scorton.

...and even better news, for those who haven't seen it on FB, The New Inn is re-opening today!

I soooooooooo feel a trip down Shark Lane coming on!

CrinklyLion · « **Reply #603 on:** 02 March, 2013, 03:01:18 pm »

I have a prior engagement this Thursday, imbibing culture instead of beer!

And yes, interzen, Pugsley would _like_ shark lane.

Deano · « **Reply #604 on:** 04 March, 2013, 07:57:46 pm »

I'll be missing this Thursday too, though - a previous appointment with poetry and music.

I might wander out for a ride around Darlo on Tuesday the 5th (tomorrow), if anyone fancies it...?

I shall still be going out, anyone else?

Not sure. Off work sick. Have to see how it goes.

Sorry, I'm out this week. Some boring admin type stuff I need to do tomorrow night. If you're going it alone T have a good one, hope to see you on the next one.

I tlooks like I will be on my Jack Jones then, I intend, shortly, to head out to meet <Name redacted by request>(if I can find my Mojo, I know it is here, somewhere, under this pile of junk in the office), then shall keep the flag flying for Thursday Night Pub Rides by heading out to a) Maunby then back to b) Thrintoft. May well include a loop past my parent's house

tiermat · « **Reply #609 on:** 08 March, 2013, 03:07:39 pm »

I did manage to get out for a bike ride yesterday, out to Thirsk, then train home.

I was intending to go and recce the chip situation at Thrintoft, but was too cold, so I went home

It'll have to wait for another time, won't it?

To forewarn you all, next Thursday, at the moment, is forecast for snow (as it would be as I have just removed the mud/snow tyres and mudguards from the Inbred), so we shall be aiming for a short "interesting" ride...

Who's free for next Thursday, then?

CrinklyLion · « **Reply #610 on:** 08 March, 2013, 04:12:20 pm »

Free, but won't be riding on snow! Shall keep a weather eye on the thread

Weather changing to dry and cold, still time for it to revert to snow, of course. Maunby, or further?

CrinklyLion · « **Reply #613 on:** 11 March, 2013, 10:09:17 am »

If it isn't snowy/icy I could prob manage the short route round to Maundy - that is realistically about my limit on an evening, and is slightly contingent on being able to keep my eyes open for long enough! Similarly, straight up the a road to Thrintoft, I guess. Or a train to the Vale of York, depending on how people feel about a trip to Thirsk.

How about I say we will work around you? Hopefully this snow will have stopped and cleared up by Thursday (the forecast says it will) so a run out to the Buck might be a plan

I wouldn't mind a bit of Copper Dragon lottery* in Maunby.

*one bar tender pours a very good pint, and the other bar tender pours a pint that.. isn't as good.

CrinklyLion · « **Reply #616 on:** 11 March, 2013, 09:17:45 pm »

Well, as I say I'm very weather dependant! Ever since the Elbow I am somewhat more risk averse than I used to be. I ain't riding on snow and ice, at all. The implications of breaking something else and another 6 weeks off work being useless are too unpleasant to think about!

Deano · « **Reply #617 on:** 11 March, 2013, 09:45:14 pm »

I've re-fitted my ice tyres. If that doesn't bring on spring, nothing will.

Completely understood.

It's ok, though, as Deano has fitted his ice tyres, so there will not be ice, or snow, on Thursday, guaranteed*

*I may have gone some way to balancing out the universe, though as I removed the mudguards and fitted thinner tyres...

CrinklyLion · « **Reply #619 on:** 13 March, 2013, 09:42:31 pm »

*checks metcheck for NTR tomorrow*

Hmm. Station Hotel anyone? Or the Golden Lion? These have the significant advantages that you could actually go for a bike ride beforehand and it is very handy for the station/THoFC afterwards

tiermat · « **Reply #620 on:** 14 March, 2013, 07:51:08 am »

I haz a plan which can involve either of those pubs. We can reprise the part-abandoned ride we did previously, when we met you last time at the Station.

Who is in for tonight?

Me!

I somehow thought you might be

CrinklyLion · « **Reply #623 on:** 14 March, 2013, 08:30:45 am »

I'll meet you at the pubbe then

8ish? Let me know which when you decide, I'll keep an eye on here.

tiermat · « **Reply #624 on:** 14 March, 2013, 08:31:49 am »

NP, remember, if it is the Station, ASK just what is in the quiche before ordering
