We went to the Fox Covert in the end. The King's Head was alright, but, well, it was a bit like visiting relatives you haven't seen in years - "next time you come, you should probably call first to check we're in". And I reckon he should have spent longer cleaning the pipes - the Magnet wasn't the best pint I've had.

The Kings Head was Odd. And I say that as someone whose measure of Oddness is, in itself, Odd.

Mr Smith very much enjoyed his evening. I doubt whether he'll enjoy his morning quite so much, and I suspect he'll be glad there's plenty of coffee in the house. I think I prefer the drunk driving at 5mph tandem descent of Maltby Bank than the sober it'll be fine brakes are for wimps option.

Dunno what you're talking about - I'm perfectly fine this morning

.

Also - 35kph on Maltby Bank, thank you very much - even with you braking! You seemed less enthusiastic about my AndyC impersonation as we were trundling through Nunthorpe though.

Yes - I very much enjoyed our evening.

Anyone for this week? I can only do Thursday, due to work commitments.

Open to destination.

Karla · « **Reply #1329 on:** 26 March, 2017, 08:02:48 pm »

Sounds good to me. I can also pay you for those bike bits!

L CC · « **Reply #1330 on:** 26 March, 2017, 09:14:10 pm »

We can't do Thursday this week- we're heading to That Scotland on Friday

Deano · « **Reply #1331 on:** 29 March, 2017, 09:50:13 pm »

Ditto.

How about next Wednesday? It'll be south, though, routechecking an alternative finish to the DKTTR 100. Possible pubs are the Dog and Gun at Knayton, or the Buck at Maunby (depending which way we ride). Does anyone know whether the pub at Borrowby's any good? It's never been open anytime I've ridden past.

tiermat · « **Reply #1332 on:** 30 March, 2017, 06:54:08 am »

OK, let's skip this week (I am feeling like crap) and do next Wednesday.

Deano · « **Reply #1333 on:** 04 April, 2017, 10:43:01 am »

I'm meeting Mike at Chateau Mike at 6.15 tomorrow - so just before 6 at yours, tiermat?

Karla · « **Reply #1334 on:** 04 April, 2017, 11:01:08 am »

My evening's free but I can't join you for anywhere near 6, so which pub are you heading for?

Deano · « **Reply #1335 on:** 04 April, 2017, 11:09:31 am »

Dog and Gun at Knayton, I reckon.

Karla · « **Reply #1336 on:** 04 April, 2017, 11:19:08 am »

Good stuff. I'll see you there, or message me if it changes.

tiermat · « **Reply #1337 on:** 04 April, 2017, 04:26:07 pm »

Sounds like a plan!!!!

madcow · « **Reply #1338 on:** 05 April, 2017, 11:41:02 pm »

At the very last minute I decided to ride out to Knayton and I am glad that I did.
Good food, beer and good company. Got home about 20 minutes ago .
Excellent antidote to work.

tiermat · « **Reply #1339 on:** 06 April, 2017, 07:00:22 am »

Yes, it was a lovely evening and great to see you, madcow.

Talking about next week, as I was with Deano, I think we will do a ride starting at Darlington station, heading east. I can do either or next week as I am off work on both days.

madcow · « **Reply #1340 on:** 06 April, 2017, 03:53:54 pm »

Wednesday only for me and that's only 50:50 as its pushing up to Easter.

L CC · « **Reply #1341 on:** 09 April, 2017, 08:56:45 pm »

Wednesday only for us, too. If I can escape work in any kind of reasonable time.
Hutton Rudby for Parmo, or further south?

CrinklyLion · « **Reply #1342 on:** 09 April, 2017, 09:19:12 pm »

What's the chances of you landing up somewhere I can get by train?

Deano · « **Reply #1343 on:** 09 April, 2017, 11:09:04 pm »

Aye, that sounds good.

Where can you get to? Yarm OK? Hutton Rudby's out, I guess.

L CC · « **Reply #1344 on:** 10 April, 2017, 08:28:12 am »

A night out in Yarm.
I feel like a local at last.

CrinklyLion · « **Reply #1345 on:** 10 April, 2017, 08:38:18 am »

Looks like the last train out of ~~dodge~~ Yarm is at about 9.... is that a bit early?

L CC · « **Reply #1346 on:** 10 April, 2017, 09:03:39 am »

Bring a bike- you can always kip at ours?

Deano · « **Reply #1347 on:** 10 April, 2017, 09:12:31 am »

Darlo's alright, and better for trains!

What is this foolish talk? Bicycles?

Actually, it really is foolish talk at present since, completely aside from the absurdity of me actually riding, I haven't actually got a trustworthy one at the moment.

tiermat · « **Reply #1349 on:** 11 April, 2017, 07:00:13 am »

So where am I getting a train to? Or am I riding to Darlington?
