After a 4 hour NYMBO Trailquest in the big hills around Malham Cove the weekend before (starting alongside the rather enthralling dry stone-walling competition at the Malham show, no less!), I continued the mud-bashing this weekend in the 100km Moors Marathon. Had a similar day to the Fleakers ...

...hope you avoided other well publicised excretions too Rob!

Ha!...well done Ian! Glad you survived that attack by the pterodactyl bee that tried to cart you off at one point. I obviously was a highly forgettable freeloader on Dr Dave’s Wild West ride – huge thanks to the Doc for arranging the day ...

In what I can only describe as an extremely tenuous link, the Inters appointed me ‘Designated Write Up Guy’ for yesterday’s ride - because the Aussies lost the Ashes!

The day started well, after arriving at the Square I raced across the road to use the conveniences. I walked through the old door ...

Thought I should post given that I said I’d be out yesterday. I had some essential stuff to do beforehand and didn’t get back home until 10.00am, so by the time I rode past the Square the Inters were long gone. My experience was very similar to Dr Dave’s. Decided to push North through Terrington ...

Well done Dr Dave for doing a write up within a couple of hours of getting back from a long ride – my brain is normally mash by then, - so great work! As Dave said, I arrived at the Square 3 or 4 minutes after 10.00 – Kevin told me I’d missed the Inters bus and pointed me to Strensall. I was delayed ...

We had a great day at the Pock Pedal yesterday - Check out the write up here:

My best wishes to Stuart for a quick recovery.

On Saturday I did a 5 hour NYMBO (mountain bike orienteering) event out of Gargrave in the big hills around Malham Cove in the Dales. Thankfully it was a dry day but huge winds on the tops. A couple of thousand metres of climbing over 50 miles of ...

Firstly, very well done to Rob, Steen and the 2 Andy’s for a superb effort in the Wiggy 300 on Saturday – the long stretch into that headwind would have been a shocker. [Rob & Co. should therefore look away now rather than despair at reading of my experience on the same day below].

My sister-in-law ...

Yes, well done Jon, a great effort!

...and thanks for sharing your thoughts too :)

I've written up my experience to encourage others to do the ride next year, it was a great day!

Any other ...

I did the Wiggy 200 on Saturday to complete a full house of Wiggies – I’d previously notched a 100 and a 300 a couple of times, and now with a 200, I reckon it could be worth an induction into the Wiggy Hall of Fame! It was great to see Ian H and Dawn at the start.

A huge group that was too big ...

Thought I’d break the posting drought - I did the ‘other’ challenge series ride on Sunday – the Fountains Monk’y Business audax out of Wigginton. It was great to be greeted by typically spritely looking types in Ian H and Bernard at the start, along with possibly one or two other Cliftonites who I ...

Hi everyone

The hawk-eyed amongst you will have seen that I've been updating the News section of the website over the past week to bring out more of what the Club has been doing over the past year. In the absence of the Cliftonite, I think it's important that our activities are publicised somewhere ...

Thanks Rob, I appreciate your comments. I’m just back from a difficult NYMBO today around the hills of Malham – it’s amazing how much leg strength you can lose on a Summer holiday!

We’re all a bit gutted by the Cliftonite tbh. You are one of the few who know how many photos I took this year to fill ...

I’m writing to let everyone know that, after consulting with the Club Committee, we have come to the unfortunate conclusion that we will not be able to produce a Cliftonite Magazine this year. While we recognise this is a great shame, particularly in the TdF year, we have been completely overtaken ...
