Title: Cleethorpes Ride Out July 21st
Post by: That Swan Guy on June 04, 2012, 06:16 PM
July 21st

I have secured half price tickets for Pleasure Island Theme Park for RAD members to enjoy the park during the day.

http://www.pleasure-island.co.uk/

The park closes at 5pm. We meet from 5pm at McCormacks Bar situated at the main gate of Pleasure Island
At 6pm we have a booze cruise along the seafront and around the boating lake utilising disused roads, footpaths and the promenade.
Obviously calling at a number of hostelries en-route :D :D

Here is the original thread with photos of the route:

http://www.radbmx.co.uk/forum/index.php'topic=142597.0

Other facilities available during the day are trails, skate bowl and race track. All run by GYPO. Here is their site. It's an awesome set up :daumenhoch: :daumenhoch:

http://www.gypobmx.co.uk/Wordpress/?page_id=31

For those who are travelling here is a link for accommodation:

http://www.visitcleethorpes.co.uk/accommodation.html

I will be collecting numbers nearer the date for the tickets to Pleasure Island. You do NOT need to go to the park to join in this ride.
Families ARE welcome. So lets get the kids into BMX and have a fun day out :daumenhoch:

Any questions please add to the thread.

Cheers now.

Nick :daumenhoch: :Great_Britain: :Great_Britain:

If you're not happy leaving your bikes in your car during the day I'll run a creche for them at the pub on site. Just bring a lock along and I'll stop any scrotes trying to have them away.

Hope this helps :daumenhoch:

Me, Gaz Fenwick and our respective Julies (who are actually both called Claire) had to cycle back to New Waltham. Only 3 miles but considering Gaz couldn't stand up it made for interesting ride!

A massive thanks to all who turned up, there were some beautiful bikes on show and the weather was awesome.

Even got a flypast from a Sea King!

I hope the little lad who fell in the boating lake has dried out now!

Best start planning next year  :crazy2: :daumenhoch:
