Have not written a ride report for a while, but this one justifies it.
Clifton Queen Stage: 6 riders. 255km, 3500m climbing, 6 major climbs (Greenhow, Fleets Moss, Buttertubs, Askrigg Common, The Fleak, Fleetham, Cote de Grinton Moor).
The Cima Coppi (1) (Fleets Moss) went to PeteP who wins his own weight in Wensleydale Cheese as a prize. Dan, DrJoe and Craig all rode considerably further than they ever had before. The 7th rider, AndrewL, had to get back early so turned for home at Kettlewell (over Park Rash) and still covered 195km! Special credit to Steen (who had to miss the event) and AndyG for helping me devise the route.
What a day!
Back to normality next Sunday. I can promise you a ride of around half this distance and less than half the climbing in the Wolds.....
(1) The Cima Coppi is the title given to the highest peak in the yearly running of the Giro d'Italia, one of cycling's Grand Tour races. (Wiki)
