I know the August Bank holiday may be good for some and not for others - I'm sorry I could not arrange this for the 8th Sept as originally proposed. The route will avoid the main tourist roads so I don't anticipate the Bank Holiday traffic causing us a problem. The rideout is on the Sunday, not the Saturday. This was done deliberately so that those who may be working on a Saturday might still join us and it ties in nicely with the BSB round at Cadwell on Monday. If you want to go to this then we're less than an hour away. There is plenty of alternative accommodation in Beverley if you perfer a B&B or hotel - bring the family!. Anyone who just wants to do the ride-out on the Sunday is also welcome; just let me know so you don't get left behind!

Please post up if you have any questions.

I look forward to welcoming you all to Lincolnshire East Yorkshire.

Chris

I've requested that weekend off so am up for this one Chris.

Cadwell sounds good

How does the dormitory work? Do I have to share with a load of snoring men?

Smoke me a kipper!! I'll be home for this one. :whoop:

GAAAAAGGGHH!!

I have tickets for Carfest that weekend; I'm going to have to say no. Pants! I had already pre-approved ToL with SWMBO when I booked BC.

Ah well, can't win them all (and really looking forward to Carfest anyway!).

Should be free for this one, will start making arrangements for the daughter to be with the 'X'.

sounds good, will have to see how the funds and lack of job situation go, but would like to come along, BSB sounds good to

Ellie,
A female only dorm can be arranged. I'll sort that once I know who's going and I've paid the place a visit nearer the time.

Weasley,
Really sorry you can't make it. Have a great weekend at Carfest. I hope we'll see you up in 2013 for 10 yrs of ToL :whoop:

MrNutt
Hope you can get the time and funds to come along. I think you'd really enjoy it

Chris

I may well be looking at doing this as my first weekend, i'll check with the boss and confirm shortly.

Thanks Chris but we way well investigate a nearby B&B, I like my little luxuries in life

I'll discuss it with Mr S.

Never been to BSB so this sounds double interesting.
I'll do my best to make this Chris will try and sort out work holidays and get back to you.

Cheers
Ross

All over this one Chris, love the format! Me and Angela will book a local b&b and loving the cadwell part..

I am working on this, might need a B&B, which could be fiddly.

Will be tough being the BH weekend but I'll do my best to make it out, as ever I'll be a Sunday day tripper.

Cheers
Jam

ill be along one way or another for this cant wait

bounce

Boing!
I'll be PM'ing you for details shortly Chris

Struggling to make this one I'm afraid, what with Into The Valley, Yorkshire Pudding, Dragon, Assen and trying to fit in a family holiday plus some bike repairs coming up I've used up all my brownie points with Mrs Snowcat, beer tokens and fuel money. Gutted as I was over Beverley way the other week for into the valley and it was a really nice place, mostly biker friendly, hope you all has a great time and hope with a bit of planning to make the 10 yr next year

Chris,

Based in "Ull" so no need to stop but will be theer for the rideout at least!

Rich.

Boing!

i dont think i will be coming for the weekend but i would think if someone points me in the right direction for a meeting place for the ride i could well join in and have the day out and some lunch with you lot before blasting back home....... tempted by BSB though!

Hi Chris,
just thought of a good question (doesn't apply to me at the mo.)

If people have stopped over and are going to BSB do you know how you could make your gear that you would have on the bike safe?

Anyone going to the BSB by car with room in the boot?

John.

I was wondering the same John, don't fancy wandering around Cadwell in leathers & carrying the weekends luggage.

My mum & brother live in Horncastle & my Dad lives near Manby but theyre all the wrong side from Beverley.

My place is 23 miles N of Cadwell and we pass it on the way.
So for those heading back up north the thought was to drop off excess luggage and pick it up on the way back.
That should help most of you.

Cheers,
Chris

might be going in the car if the mrs wants to come but its far too early to say, it i take it then anyone can throw some stuff in it. its only a fiesta but im sure it will hold a fair amount of bike luggage
