Carlsberg Rideout Recce - wed 6th may

[Paul the 6th]

edit

Spoken with davePreston on the phone about the recce, the forecast is looking shiiit for this afternoon so we've agreed to postpone it till next week - possibly wednesday subject to dp's work schedule

For anyone who want's to tag along, you've now got a weeks notice to get in on the act. Recce on wednesday afternoon and then if anyone fancies it, head to squires for a greasy burger/cuppa tea/diet coke etc...

As it stands the route is looking something like this - Carlsberg Rideout Route Map

116 miles, 3 hours 16 minutes. Petrol station & various fast food outlets at the start of the route, and another petrol station at the end where the a59 crosses with the a1237 york ringroad.

Theoretically we don't need any stops at all since I managed the route on a "big thirsty thousand" and dave almost made it all the way back to preston but it's nice to have a chat and a bit of banter somewhere along the ride - so we'll work out a convenient place.

Dave has asked me to lead due to my "superior machine control" and "charming riding style" I'd be chuffed to lead my very first rideout along such an amazing route.

If anyone has any questions, please post below

I think I have jamaican rabbit flu or whatever it's called and the weather looks shizzle for wednesday, but I'm doing the recce no matter what...

Looks like it's going to be an afternoon ride so if anyone is free wednesday aft and would like to tag along, give us a shout
