Only a few weeks to go. Whos going ? I hope to, probably
camp on Friday & Saturday night, do a ride on Saturday,
maybe one of the Ron Kitching Audaxes though I have not
booked in yet. Does anyone know if places are still
available ? Anyone care for a urc meet up ? I missed last
year, too busy. My tent is a VauDe MKII, turquoise with an
exo-skeleton, I'm likely to be wearing a black 'The
Cyclery - Burlington, Iowa' cycling cap when cycling - not
many of those around !

I have the weekend booked off work. I'm hoping that I'll be
'bent by then, in which case, I'm going to try and get the
two preceding days and cycle down.

One way or the other... with one of my bikes... I'll be
there. And I'm definately interested in a urc meet.

I'm planning to cycle down on the Friday and cycle back home
on the Sunday---though the train might be tempting by then.
I'll be camping there probably. I'll probably not do any
rides on the Saturday but use it as an excuse to catch up
with a few old friends in York. Definitely up for a URC meet
either night.

Rob and I should be there, providing the ferry doesn't sink
on the way back from Cycle Vision :-)

Is that anything like the Hogan? We have a Monolith, but I
don't like the orientation of it - ideal tent would be the
size of the Monolith with the orientation of the Hogan...

We'll be the two loonies on Greenspeeds, possibly with fish-
shaped windsocks attached :-)

I'll be there with my daughter. Unforunately we can't ride
up as she has a GCSE on the Friday morning, but we have our
train tickets booked for the afternoon. We will be riding
the 250 miles home tho', on Monday/Tuesday.

Anyone care for a urc meet up ?

OK. We'll be on the lightweight section - will others?

Sadly I'll not be there for the first time in a few years.
Well, actually it's not that sad since the reason I'm not
there is that I'm heading off to France to ride La
Marmotte 🙂

I'll be in the motor section with a Red P Reg Rover 200
bearing H'Angus and Sheffield Steelers stickers.

We hope to be there too, and will most likely be on ICEs.
Will have to dig out the various windsocks, though ours are
more traditional (boring) shapes, one tube with streamers
and one spiral. The tent is a green half-cylinder. We've not
booked yet - hopefuly we can just turn up.

That's what we always do - there's usually plenty of space
left on the lightweight section.

A few years ago, one of my friends turned up unbooked. There
was no space on the lightweight camping area.

It has happened to me as well. Once I turned up unbooked and
the lightweight section was full, and I had to pitch in the
other bit. Ugh. Never again. Now I'd always book. <clutches
this year's booking slip>

I'm surprised at that. We usually get there on Friday
afternoon, though I've seen people turn up on the Saturday
and still get a pitch. I guess we've just been lucky.

I think my friend might have turned up on the Saturday.

We were thinking Saturday, as my work have a farewell do on
Friday before the office finally closes down. Does that make
us too late for the outings though?

I'll prolly be there; not sure who's coming with, tho. Wife
& offspring have a Duty Day at the outlaws (uncles booked in
advance, that sort of thing) but I've invited my bro-in-law
(Andy Hewitt, seen recently in these parts) and if he can't
make it I'll see if my mate Bob can come.

In the motor section, in a girly-pink S reg V70 :-)
