Coast to Coast
Hello Thorpers,
It’s been mentioned before, but I’ll mention it again. Hudds Star Wheelers have organised a van /driver/etc.. for twelve of their members to go to Morecambe to do the C2C ride off their own back, as the normal organised event is not running this year. Four of us expressed interest to HSW to join them, however they are now full with their own riders. Is anyone interested in sorting out our own transport to do the same, on the same day as HSW - 5th July 2008. They have managed to get the price down (via use of club funds, a bit of sponsorship etc..) to $15 per person. I would like to make an official request to use club funds to part fund this event, though it may mean we end up paying a little more than $15, depending on the number of riders who are defo interested.
So far we have interest from the following people:
Me
Martyn Bolt
Matt
Martin Lucas
My dad
It is not a prerequisite that your name starts with M, though this would look nice……..
Anyone else interested? Remember - 5th July - not a lot of time left.
Brad

we have the chance of a mini bus from Rawthorpe Boxing club, Rod dyer might ride or drive.
That’s six of us so 4 more would be great, and we could take some seats out and use one vehicle.
rough timetable, leave at 06.30 start off about 0800, ( confirm with HSW their times?)
I think they are working on a 4 stop strategy, but I know we can chose from Devil’s bridge, poss sedbergh? Hawes ,Middleham,Thirsk,Pickering, and Scarborough whihc is about every 20 miles if needed.
Other choices are carry your own gels, etc in the van with one main feed in thirsk?
I’ll ring Rod and make sure he is still OK and then we need to get final numbers
