As I am a sad fecker will be riding from Sheffield to the Bash on my own Friday.

Anybody want to join me ?

It will be a very gentle ride, going via back roads (virtually) all the way. Route has a few boring bits to Castleford but nice after that, turning very nice after Tadcaster.

Rough plan,

Wentworth Village (near Sheffield) about 10:30

Tadcaster 11:30

Aldwark Wooden Toll Bridge (free for bikes) 12:00

Topcliffe 12:30

Near ish to Northallerton about 13:00

Piercebridge about 14:00

A68 Cafe late lunch / early tea 14:30

BB for about 5ish

I intend on being at Northallerton by then :p

Will pm you my number, if you want give me a bell when you get to Wetherby, if you are shooting up the A1 from there could meet at junction 56, can show the way from there. The 68 cafe serves really good food if you fancy that.

Guess you are going to be pretty tired riding up from Kent :bow

Could be a plan mate!! I may even get to Wetherby services a little earlier, so as soon as Ditchy poo arrives, has a coffee & a slash I'll give you a call for sure & if we can meet up.

I'll reply to your PM with my mobile number too....:thumb

Will kettle be on ?

Usually, but i'm getting off earlier to meet up with the southern contigent who are overnighting in Masham

We are heading off from there at about 9.30 and going up over the Dales and North Pennines
 
Nice to have a local event: I have to ride for an hour and do 38 miles.

Probably take longer to pack.

See you all there Friday.

KB and I have conversed and I think we are going to try and meet up with you for tour of the roads you know, weather permitting, and a spot of lunch.
I'm happy to sample the produce of the 68 Cafe if we can sort out the RV tomorrow.

BTW Keith will be fine after his ride: a soluble amphetamine in his camelbak keeps him going all night. :D
