OK, so lets try again.

I know Deano is out in parts forrin* next week, but I promise a) not to get stressed with work and b) plan to drive ~300 miles on Wednesday, so I am in.

Obviously no Mrs T's brother, as he has gone back down South.

Any one else able to come out for a bike ride?

*The Lake District, it's not in Yorkshire, so it's forrin.

Maybe, Phil. I'm trying not to make plans because if I feel ill I end up cancelling them at the last minute. But it'd be lovely to catch up, anyway

My teeth should remain unmolested next week so I am probably upferit.

I'd really like to do a ride which includes Daisyhill, but that is a challenge due to fitness. Had a good evening tonight at the Station House in Durham, but that was a pub/dog walking outing. Would also be nice to meet all the northeasterners... Do we plan this pub trip too frequently for everyone to make it?

I always read this thread and I'm always disappointed that I can't make it.

Ruthie · « **Reply #1104 on:** 08 April, 2016, 10:42:51 pm »

Well, the pubbe runne in ye olden days was always planned around who was coming, ie the least fit rider could do the ride, at least in theory. The point was the social aspect, rather than the ride itself.

I could rarely make it myself because of my old job, but sometimes I'd drive over after work in the car to say hi to everyone, especially if Crusty had done the ride.

The day was fixed because it started at tiermat's house and he has a young family, and the ride worked around that.

It's a good three years since I participated really, because reasons, and the pub run has probably evolved a lot since then.

Crinklylion can't really make it any more for starters.

So I should probably shut up.

I would love to come occasionally, but I wouldn't want the event to be planned around my needs cos I'm very unreliable and still at the baby steps stage in my return to cycling! (Laid up with bad back today😒) However, if perhaps once a month or every other month the pub could be very close to a rail station that would make it more of a possibility for the likes of me...

Every week is always going to be difficult because of other commitments (I have a proper job now, darnit) but I would make extra effort for a ride that included daisyhill. And tandems make things easier y'know. Just saying.

tiermat · « **Reply #1107 on:** 13 April, 2016, 05:03:02 pm »

Is anyone coming out tonight, then?

Graeme · « **Reply #1108 on:** 13 April, 2016, 05:37:59 pm »

Can you make it up Durham way? Not quite Northallerton, but we have an excellent straight-from-the-cask pubbe!

Ruthie · « **Reply #1109 on:** 13 April, 2016, 06:28:57 pm »

Sorry Phil. I have enough spoons to do a nice bike ride, but nowhere near enough for logistics to and from NTR. Another time?

We won't be out to play this evening; one of us isn't even back from work yet

tiermat · « **Reply #1111 on:** 13 April, 2016, 08:43:19 pm »

Well I enjoyed it! No rain but lots of puggles, wet feet now! I did a run to Maunby, throwing in an extra loop of Back Lane. That is where I met Lake Michegan on it's holidays! Full width of the road and very long! So I went back around and had a couple of pints in The Buck, which has changed hands, again! No more beef dripping chips, but fresh, local food at a reasonable price!

If tomorrow evening is as nice as today's, I'd be up for a ride?

Ruthie · « **Reply #1114 on:** 20 April, 2016, 09:28:24 am »

If you can get over to Darlington Lindsay maybe I could meet you at the station and we could go for a potter round the lanes? I don't know what the trains are like from where you live. I don't really know the pubs round Darlington but we could invade a random one and see what happens?

L CC · « **Reply #1115 on:** 20 April, 2016, 10:30:02 am »

Sounds like a plan, Ruthie. My train will get to Darlo at 18:24.

Ruthie · « **Reply #1116 on:** 20 April, 2016, 11:26:07 am »

Excellent. See you there.

Ruthie · « **Reply #1117 on:** 20 April, 2016, 11:32:41 am »

I reckon if we ride out to the Crown at Kirklevington, that's a pretty nice run, then the options are to get a train back from Yarm or ride back to Darlington.

Opinions welcome.

eta: the direct trains back to Saltburn finish at about 20.30. A circular ride is possible thobut. What d'you think Lindsay?

Chris S · « **Reply #1118 on:** 20 April, 2016, 11:57:06 am »

...or, it's only about 25km to ride back to Guis from there

Deano · « **Reply #1119 on:** 20 April, 2016, 12:32:51 pm »

I can't make it tonight - have a good ride!

Ruthie · « **Reply #1120 on:** 20 April, 2016, 04:02:44 pm »

Work has intervened, unfortunately.

So unless anyone else is planning to turn up, tonight's cancelled I'm afraid $:-\$

tiermat · « **Reply #1121 on:** 02 May, 2016, 09:13:41 am »

Anyone up for this week? Weather looks like it is improving and Catalonia has shown me that I need to get more miles in!

tiermat · « **Reply #1122 on:** 09 May, 2016, 09:13:28 am »

This week, anyone?

L CC · « **Reply #1123 on:** 09 May, 2016, 09:32:13 am »

Not me, I'm afraid. Unless you all fancy Great Ayton. I need to be banking sleep this week.

Deano · « **Reply #1124 on:** 09 May, 2016, 09:51:01 am »

Yes, I'll be there. Could do Great Ayton, but I'll stick to the classic Northallerton run if that's the preferred option.
