ToL Sign-Up, Questions etc

First topic message reminder :

If you're thinking of coming along on the ToL 6, and especially if you've made definite arrangements, then please add a reply to this topic with a few brief details so I can co-ordinate numbers. Then I'll know approximately what size group we'll have and can sort out appropriate lunch stops etc.

I'll periodically post up a summary of responses to date.

You can also post any questions you have about the event and I'll do my best to answer them.

Cheers,
Chris

OK Suzie, here's where you get to show just how committed you are! In the psychiatric sense of course

I want to do one when I can bring the Mrs along and do the overnight stays as well as the runs. A good social is always welcome!

I havent signed up yet, (If I do it will only be for the Sat ) is there a planned route? what i mean by that is if I get lost, and it has been know to happen. Is there a link to something I can print out and keep with me, that would be cool.
Cheers,
Adam

adam you won't get lost mate because i will be behind you!

So how many peeps are actually still coming? At this rate the marker system might well be redundant.

Definately time to change deodorant Chris


Sausage and mash for me please.

Nope sorry, don't know what's causing this sudden aversion to the ToL.

Mind you I've been very busy doing a little gardening DIY these past 4 days - hot and sweaty work. SWMBO has already complained, but that was due to lack of deodorant Maybe that's the problem?

Well Mechy and myself were out briefly over the weekend to pick one or two spots on route where he's promised to surprise you all! Not having a bike does terrible things to you. Be suitably impressed :cyclops: Girls - hang on to your handle bars!

So here's a few pics of some of the Wolds roads we'll be covering (in no particular order). However with the ever reducing numbers I wonder why I bother

Just one new member joining us will make it worth while - who's it gonna be?

Saturday lunch is at The Plough Inn, Holbeach St Johns. Post up your choice from the menu Nige added to this thread.

Saturday evening meal is at The Cross Keys Pub, Grasby and here's the location. Menu can be viewed on their web site, but make your choice on the night.

Steve - sorry to hear you're not feeling too well. Wishing you a swift recovery and hope to see you at the next event.

Suzie - no need for advance notice of your dinner choice. Might be good to let me have your curry order then it should all be ready together when you go to collect. Thanks for helping out with that.

Oldcat & Arties Mill residents - Pete (mechy) will give 3 of you a lift to and from Grasby on Saturday night. I'll book a taxi for the other 2 - depart 19:00 return 23:30 Maybe you'd care to split the cost between you all and buy Pete a lemonade or maybe a Dubonnet?!

Anything else let me know.

Cheers, Chris

Not been active for a little while but took the thunderace out for a little blast tonight out and around Harrogate and Wetherby to make sure the wheels still turn and the brakes still stop them turning! Got back and have a smile on my face so ready for a sore arse on Saturday due to the sheer number of miles I am going to have to cover.... I'll meet you all at the Grasby am but at the moment can't commit to the overnight stay, if I can I will have to do a laterooms.com and jump in a taxi and have a pastie on the way! Likewise for the lunch, I can quite happily sit and have a coke whilst you gorge...

Quick question though, what are you all doing with your stuff? I was going to pop jeans and t-shirt into a rucksack if stay over but won't be able to check into a hotel if I stay over until mid afternoon. I don't mind the rideout with it on my back but is there another option?

Cheers

Martin

Hi Chris

Heard from Cameron earlier. His radiator is goosed and the best part of £1000 to get fixed......ouch.
A few more hundred he could buy my radiator complete with bike attached

Therefore he and his +1 won't be coming either......

I'll still plan to meet Eddie990 on the his way down from Aberdoom.

Cheers
Rosco

It's not that kind of meet Martin but I'm sure you'll still enjoy yourself

To answer your question I'm sure Greencat Chris will be able to store it for you or the people staying at the local pub in Grasby.

Cheers
Rosco

No need to miss lunch chap :( , as long as we have the majority ordered we can ring any extras through in the Morning from the start point or coffee & Fuel stop

I was sorry that I had to pull out, on seeing the pics of those roads I am now officially gutted! Have fun folks!

Quick question though, what are you all doing with your stuff? MevsyD

You can leave your stuff at my place. See you at the pub on Sat morning.

Cricky! Hope he gets it sorted. Maybe a radiator protector for Christmas?

I am now officially gutted! Radar

Sorry, didn't mean to upset you Hope you can make a run sometime - there's always next year?

Sunday Run
Proposal for Sunday is a run up the Sherburn in Elmet in North Yorkshire to the Milk Bar - a popular bike meet.
Departure would probably be 10am from Brigg; a bit earlier from Grasby.
We can discuss this more over the weekend, or post up comments questions here.

Cheers
Chris

Hi Paul,

If you're not arriving too late on Friday the Pete can also give you a lift to and from the pub that night aswell. Of course you're more than welcome to join us for a curry EET (estimated eating time 7:15) or alternatively pick something up in Brigg (be careful here!) and bring it with you to eat along with the rest of us. Your call.

Cheers,
Chris

have i missed a menu for the indian somewhere or do i just think of something and hope they have it - i'll look at my local's menu and pick something off there lol - then you can either tell me it's not on yours or hopefully let me know how much it is

Curry the night before a ride-out - umm Interesting :bom:

did you stick a thing of the route up anywhere chris? i can't find it but i'm probably looking in the wrong place - i can't remember it all and i wanted to do a practice run from mine so that i know where i can sod off if needs be lol!!! not to mention remind myself of all the 30 limits

Thanks Chris - I'm unsure now. I know Friday night is not the main event and thought I might just pop over after dinner at Artie's but now you're making a curry sound tempting.....

If a lift is possible and not in any way a faff, can I take this offer up? I expect to arrive somewhere around 4-5pm. Think you have my number, if not it's oh seven seven nine eight seven three eight oh three oh. If yours ends four six eight I have it.

You're a diamond, you are! And your family for putting up with us!
