You’ll have to post the route before I make a decision. If you’re intending to spend a lot of time in that granny ring (though I think that’s actually just for decoration in your case) discretion might be the better part of valour.

Assuming my bike doesn't fail me again between now and Sunday I'll be there.

Looking forward to it!

OK, here's the route:

Classic route to Helmesley via Ampleforth,
Cockayne/Bransdale - Surprise View - Hutton-le-hole
Malton - Birdsall - Thixendale - Huggate - Millington
Nunburnholme - Market Weighton - Middleton - then head for home

Remember; Sunday clubrun mentality - keep it smooth, keep it together, look out for each other. Nobody has a number on their back.

Will be a belter :D

Broomy, if you're going to be in the square could you bring along my glove please? :) If you're not riding, then of course don't worry about it!

I'll hopefully be coming along Rob, but will turn back at Malton if that's okay with you.

Certainly tempting, some good roads there. Forecast is for heavy rain in the afternoon though - can't say I really want four or five hours of soaking - yes, I know I lack the Dunkirk spirit. I shall see how I feel and what it looks like in the morning.

If I do come I shall bring your glove Andy.
