I would say the track to PI is about 2 miles. If you are bringing your car anyway I would recommend driving it however there are a number of pubs en-route. Those of us who are local will ride it and have a swifty on the way

Here are some highly accurate maps WITH PUBS ADDED depicting the route from racetrack to Pleasure Island.
If you are driving home that day, it's probably worth driving from the track to Pleasure Island.
They have a free car park, if you do drive there, use the tarmac 'overflow' car park.

We are hoping to be there has anybody got any hotel recomendations ?
Or where to avoid

That Swan Guy · « **Reply #57 on:** July 13, 2013, 08:25 AM »

There really isn't a big hotel there. There are loads of b&b on Isaacs Hill if you google that. Lenny is at the Dovedale just on the seafront.

PHIL9HUF · « **Reply #58 on:** July 14, 2013, 01:13 AM »

Sorted

seeya all next week

That Swan Guy · « **Reply #59 on:** July 15, 2013, 10:59 AM »

The road outside Pleasure Island will be closed to vehicles from 3pm to 6:30pm due to the carnival.
This will not affect if you get there before then and park in the OVERFLOW CAR PARK.
this is the tarmac car park at the front of Pleasure Island.
the gravel main car park is available but is locked after the park closes.

Because the Cleethorpes carnival is on it WILL BE BUSY.

Some of the pubs are using this day to have bands on outside so it should be a bit of a giggle.

The weather is forecast HOT so dress/lube up accordingly

Any dramas my number is 07810714745

See you all Saturday.

1pm New Waltham track for Pump Time Trial competition

2:45pm Pleasure Island for beers and bunny hops

Booooooooooooo!

No Worries Andy, catch you on another ride

That Swan Guy · « **Reply #72 on:** July 18, 2013, 01:04 AM »

Look folks, it is going to be very very busy on Saturday. If you are driving, please take into consideration the road closures that have been mentioned. BE EARLY. The seafront will be packed and I ask that you give due regard to pedestrians when we cycle around. We will endeavour to drop into as many pubs as possible, but if they are heaving we will move on to the next one. Let's have a good day on what is essentially a bike ride not a hangover style pub crawl. The beer is a bonus.

That Swan Guy · « **Reply #73 on:** July 19, 2013, 11:40 AM »

I've been along the seafront this morning, it is looking splendid as well as busy! There will be loads to see but loads of people around too. The fun races at the track are sorted, we even have the start gate arranged for the pump time trial. The bunny hop apparatus is built and ready to go.

Let's have it
