And I won't get lots of Stuff, like a pair of bike shoes
that actually fit.

Apparently I will have a busy weekend anyway writing a reply
to a letter in the Reading Post bashing me and the CTC.

Shame, I was looking forward to that. Is anyone else still
going? Will there be enough people to make a urc moot?

Looking at the Met Office forecasts, I'd be better off in
Edinburgh, but if there'll be fellow posters in York then
I'll probably make the effort!

Thats a shame. What about Mildenhall ? I am considering it.

I'm going, hopefully cycling there in Saturday morning and
home in the afternoon. If the weather is too bad I'll drive
with the bike in the car and perhaps do a short ride in the
area if it brightens up

I think we're booked for Lancaster, not sure about
Mildenhall.

I'll be heading down by train on Saturday morning (Hopefully
hitting York ~9:00) and heading back some time Sunday.

The BBC say big yellow sunshine to tempt us there on Friday,
and two raindrops / black cloud to catch us out on Saturday.
Of course, given the reliability of weather forcasts, it
could do something completely different.

I transported the tandem back home from work with the help
of Lindsay this evening in the pouring rain. Either
Lindsay's very strong, or the tandem (a Dawes Galaxy Twin,
quite old, Reynolds 531) is very efficient. It did 35 down
Pool Bank with the drag brake on, and 20 on the gradual
climb from Pool to Huby, until we got tired towards the top.
It does move well though. The only problem is that after too
much time on the Dark Side my shoulders and neck had to get
used to the touring position again.

Me too. Was going to go on Friday, do a ride Saturday and
trade show Sunday. But looking at the forecast I think I
might just go for the day on Sunday. The forecast changes
though. Yesterday it was light rain for Saturday, today its
heavy rain. Tomorrow and Saturday, who knows.

Largely because of the weather I probably *shall* be going -
it looks to nasty to sail.

If the weather is [censored] I'll be trying to find a place for my
boat at the local sailing club. If the weather is good I'll
be out on the bike.

I use uk.weather.com

The hourly forecast for Saturday says Mostly Cloudy 'til
10am, then Cloudy to 4pm with the rain starting between 4
and 5pm. So it looks like an evening sampling the pubs of
York instead of sitting outside the tent :-)

Sounds like a plan! My two reasons for going are to visit
the trade show and to meet some fellow urc-ers. Given
that there appear to be at least a few still going, shall
we arrange a place / time to meet, or some kind of method
to establish one since we can't just seek out the "girly
pink volvo"!
