Wasn't on a Wednesday for us Mountain bikers last year. It is called the Pizza hut ride because Pizza Hut used to do a buffet on a saturday or sunday so we'd ride and then go to that.
Spoken to Robin about this for xc, I won't be doing this as I have one exam next week, and all f of mine in the first week of exam period. BUT 14th of May was the proposed date as it is over a week before exams start and gives people time to recover.

I won't be able to make the weekend of the 14 / 15 May as it is Fusion CC national Tour - which should be close to 300 miles of riding over 3 days

I wont be riding this (no surprises there) But just in case anyone was wondering.. BOTH road and xc pizza hut rides last year were on Wednesday the 19th (Which was the Wednesday of week 12 - only a few days before exams - but it means no one has lectures) Wednesday was chosen as the peak district is much busier on weekends and the XC folks wanted less chance of running into walkers. Afterwards we went to the Indian Chef - perhaps it would be better to go elsewhere this year? It certainly would be a good idea to decide where abouts to go, and try and book/get some food deals going (Chris, I think this is your job?) I will be joining you for the eating afterward

Can't be the 14th/15th for us Roadies, wouldn't be the same without John-o Albaya! So how about the following weekend... Yeah go elsewhere to eat, pizza hut would be good, try and get the tradition alive again or at least defo go somewhere all you can eat...

The joys of only doing 40 credits this semester, and my completion of all coursework means I can pretty much do any day. I can't, however, do the 14/15th weekend, but if you decide to go then I will not be distraught.
The name 'Pizza Hut Ride' is an odd one, considering that it has never (certainly in the previous 5 years) finished with us dining at a Pizza Hut; I guess the name merely implies that we should be shattered and hungry enough after the ride to ruin an all-you-can-eat establishment. We also should bare in mind that the all-you-can-eat offer at Pizza Hut is only available on Mondays to Fridays.
I don't mind on the route either, West Peaks sounds a good idea, or if you wanted to go to York (150 miles) I can provide the route for that too.

Seems like you should go with 21/22! I have to miss out though, in Sweden then so quite sure I can't make it.

ye I'm fairly flexible if its not this weds the 1 after . . . 18th ish .I think -
PS has anyone ever checked out the number 1's all you can eat chinese in town - is like £6/7 for students atm - but drinks are a rip off- so you just have to deal with the guilt of the "you just killed my dog" look of the man behind the counter when requesting a tap water !

The 18th sits okay with me... how about everyone else?

To be honest this is too close to my deadlines and exams, but I will be able to come to the meal afterwards. I'm only riding at the moment at relatively short notice when I have the time...

So are most people happy with Wednesday 18th? (week day so fewer people around in the peaks, not during exam time, no lectures are on)
I'll still have one assignment due for that friday, but my group can handle a day without me. And obviously exam period begins the following week - so plenty of time left for cramming.
