Well... we're coming by car so as long as the meet is somewhere reachable by car I can get there

We're actually staying at the Haven Primrose Valley site near Filey and the in-laws live in Brompton-by-Sawdon. So all around Scarborough really...

Don't have any plans yet for that Sunday so looking good

sundays good for me can have a pick up point at seaways too if anyones

I've spoken to Thomas this afternoon. Here's the plan:

9:30 depart Humber Bridge car park (North bank)
10:30 arrive Seaways, Fridaythorpe, E Yorks
11:00 depart Seaways
12:00 arrive Oliver's Mount, Scarborough
Lunch. Meet Thomas & family

Route(s) back to be discussed.

Hope this is OK for all. Post up if you've any other suggestions/questions.

Cheers,
Chris

I had thought of trying to make this Chris, but not going to be able to, sorry.

Please can you pass on Pam's and my regards to Thomas (we met in Germany).

-Steve

Sure Steve I'll do that (he may read it here before we meet up).

Sorry to hear you can't make it. I hope Pam is feeling better?
Do you think you'll both make ToL?

Cheers,
Chris

I'm sorry, but I've looked at the distance (total), and I'll just not make it at the momment . Those that saw me at BC will know :(
That and I'll be doing some volunteering for the RBLR over the Jubilee weekend too and don't want to wreck myself for that.

Please pass my very best on to Thomas and the family

Cheers
Tel

Chris,

Got the preliminary nod. Will decide whether to meet at Humber Bridge or Seeways before weekend.

Fingers crossed for good weather.

Rich.

Slight change of plan, booked myself into MJB Barrow-Upon-Humber Apartments Hardy's Barn - near Humber Bridge.. see you at the bridge meeting point on Sunday

Ping!

Details now in header.

Chris, think the Date Set may be wrong, unless it's next year?

John

Thanks John, messed up the month.

Rideout is this coming Sunday - 3rd June 2012

Just had a look and it's 94Miles from me, how's the weather looking for Sunday up that way - feeling very tempted.

I'm still a maybe, I'll txt you on Sun morning if I'm coming. Will meet at Scarborough.

Chris

see u all at seaways

cheers

Weather is looking cloudy, dry, 11 degrees. So not as warm as BC! Possibility of occasional shower later on. Slightly warmer inland.

Think a run over to Helmsley might be worth considering in the afternoon.

scarbough to whitby then helmsley is a cracking road ill be up for that

Put me down Chris, looks like I will have to be up early to meet for 9.30, may have to polish the bike the night before instead of in the morning.

Where's me can of Red Bull?

Afraid Sunday is out the window for me now :( I've managed to get a day pass to help my friend break his new ST3 in but Sunday I'm at a christening, jubilee party and birthday BBQ

Much rather be out on the bike but after last weekend need to bank a few more brownie points

Hope you all have a great day though

We'll see you at Seaways Sir Digby

Scarborough - Whitby - Helmsley is a good route. Let's see what the others think.

Snowcat - shame you can't make it, but understand the need for brownie points. Looks like Sunday is going to be pretty busy for you!

And you know I need brownie points Chris after our conversation the other day

Chris,

9:30 @ HB Car park it is. Meet at the main entrance or back where the cafe is or up on the main road just after the bridge?

At least its now free for you to come over!

sorry can,t make sunday as im at work with the college on shut down

What sort of timings are we looking at? Does sound tempting but might make it a bit late for me.

I might go Helmsley way to the A1 (get the job done to be home asap). Is the road from Scarborough through Pickering OK, or have I missed the good bits to and from Whitby?

Panzerbuilder - we'll see you near the cafe

kwakkat - sorry you can't make it. Hope you have fun today!

SteveCat - the best bits are to and from Whitby. Looking at the forecast it might be sunny in Whitby, but I appreciate your need to get back home. Helmsley down Sutton Bank to A19 and A1 would be the quickest route. We can decide all this on the day depending on weather and timings?

Chris

Thanks Chris.

I think it will be wet gear for the return leg for me. If the forecast is to be believed I can expect a few hours of a free bike wash, but I am suspicious of freebies and suspect I may have to wash the bike when I get home

Chris, I'm tied up till 12:00 on Sunday. Can you keep me posted on route, timings etc and I'll head over after lunch.

Cheers.
