We need the people who are coming from farther afield to make the call - I can do Darlo (obviously), or Yarm, or wherever.

Last train to Boro is 22:38, so we could do Darlo.

Darlo it is! We can still have a loop out, and I'll think of a pub. Food required?

Deano · « **Reply #1353 on:** 11 April, 2017, 01:30:14 pm »

Hole in the Wall? Decent food (albeit usually served on a slate) and beer, some railings outside for bike locking-up purposes.

It's in the Market Place, next to the Dolphin Centre - just aim for the town clock and you can't miss it.

The Voodoo Lounge does damn good food, but the Sheffield stands are around the corner, which isn't ideal: http://voodoocafe.co.uk/ourmenus/

There's a 'Spoons too...

Hole in the Wall for 7-ish sound OK?

50 miles to Darlo and the last train home is 22.27. Yeah go on then, I'll have time to join you for a drink.

All sounds good to me! I'll ride out and train back.

Karla · « **Reply #1356 on:** 11 April, 2017, 02:03:41 pm »

Just to check, this is tomorrow right?

tiermat · « **Reply #1357 on:** 11 April, 2017, 02:04:22 pm »

Yes, Wednesday

H'excellent. A Plan

Can anyone recommend a route from Billingham (Cowpen Bewley)?

Deano · « **Reply #1360 on:** 11 April, 2017, 04:34:44 pm »

I'd probably do Junction Road-Darlington Back Lane-Sadberge, then pick up the cycle path alongside the A66 until the end of the dual carriageway, hop over and down Haughton Road into town. Probably busy.

Alternatively, Elton-Long Newton and along the old railway line from MSG. This includes more Stockton but will be quieter on the whole, but it's a tricksy route if you don't know where to find the badly-signposted cuts away from the through roads.

Or quieter but longer - Wynard-Thorpe Thewles-Bishopton-Little Stainton-Great Burdon-Haughton Road. It should have quietened down by the time you get out of Billingham.

I am, of course, available to meet up and guide folks into Darlo. Let me know, or else I might do some overtime. Or go for a bike ride.

Chris S · « **Reply #1362 on:** 11 April, 2017, 09:50:56 pm »

I'll be riding over from TheotherBorough after work. Where am I heading for in Darlo?

The Hole in the Wall in the marketplace. Next to the Dolphin Centre.

I am going to be heading in via Scorton, Moulton and Stapleton, if you fancy riding out that way?

Sure - what sort of time?

tiermat · « **Reply #1367 on:** 12 April, 2017, 01:47:23 pm »

I am leaving ours at about 5, so Scorton by 6 or so

Deano · « **Reply #1368 on:** 12 April, 2017, 02:09:15 pm »

OK, I'll head Moulton-wards when I finish.

tiermat · « **Reply #1369 on:** 12 April, 2017, 02:17:17 pm »

Cool, see you on the road!

L CC · « **Reply #1370 on:** 12 April, 2017, 04:57:10 pm »

I'm still at work, and it doesn't look like I'll be leaving any time soon

CrinklyLion · « **Reply #1371 on:** 12 April, 2017, 05:30:56 pm »

I'm still in York and will be leaving at some point....

The train might be preferable in this wind!

L CC · « **Reply #1373 on:** 12 April, 2017, 06:15:27 pm »

I got as far as the A19, bollocks to that. I'm heading home

CrinklyLion · « **Reply #1374 on:** 12 April, 2017, 06:30:13 pm »

Ah, but is the bra coming off....
