Great Saturday Club ride for those ‘K’ riders at the square on a cold, but what could not have been a clearer, sunny morning.
I was joined by Craig, Alison and Chris and the general consensus was to keep to the lower level rather than climb. This meant we kept a good riding tempo all day on clear, dry roads. Carefully chosen route choice of Tollerton, Helperby, Sessay, Dalton to Thirsk.
Infact, worst gremlin of the day was myself, with a few tricky punctures and a gruelling tyre – not helped by the increasingly agitated operative and cold fingers! Big Thanks to Craig for additional muscle applied & bringing calmness to the situation!
A deserved, warm café stop at Thirsk and once my frustrating tube change completed in the glacial microclimate of the cafe's shadow, a swift and sun-soaked return route via Raskelf, Easingwold, Huby and Strensall.
All back into York together, with the temperature dropping rapidly, making an even more satisfying 70miles.
Thanks for the company.
