Unfortunately my time in York is coming to an end, I fully intend to make my way back up the M1 on a regular basis, after all, the riding and the mates are too good to miss!
Matt and Nick organised a Castle Howard bbq Ride in my honour. So we loaded up the bags and set out at around 7 into the country. After being in denial about the fact it was raining, I was soon forced to accept that Yorkshire was going to do it in style! Not being fair weather cyclists we ploughed on, picking up newcomer Johnny on the way. After climbing bulmer bank in the rain, with five tinnies and a lump of cow on my back i was glad when we found a nice spot at Castle Howard under some trees to bqq. Matt was grillmeister and I was introduced to this pepper sauce which was amazing! Apart from the encounter with the pick-up truck, the bbq was a great sucess and about 9 we put on our lights, packed up our rubbish and headed home.
Apart from a pinch flat and the intensity of descending terrington bank in torrential rain, the ride back was great. We rolled together as a group all the way back to York with smiles on our faces.
