OK Guys, the day of reckoning is nearly upon us. The long range weather forecast is for dry, still but cold conditions - potentially ideal.
So its "green for go" for this Sunday.
Plan:
0730 grand depart from the Square (prompt) First half hour will need lights.
50 flat miles to Leyburn for first cafe (Post Horn) at ca. 1015.
Then 45 very hilly miles round the Pennines, recommended bottom gear in the mid 30s.
Should be back at the Post Horn at about 1500 for refuel.
On the road again for three hours of dark lanes back to York. Back about 1900?
Really looking forward to it.
