Report from Kevin:
As per the previous weekend i arrived at the Square with identified routes/maps, Howard led Group a.
Claire & Cath led Group b both ride routes aiming for the Bakery cafe at Hovingham.
Myself, Willy Amanda & Young Arthur headed out to Howsham ,Willy headed home at Galley Gap, due to Home Commitments, & to save himself for the following days 110km Audax at Tockwith.
From there we continued to Leavingham, taking a left in the village for a nice flowing descent to Langton.
After Langton the climb of Birdsall Brow allowed (Young) Arthur to demonstrate his climbing skills, Amanda climbed it sat down & informed me that she had not cycled in such windy conditions.
After re-grouping we headed to Millington (35 miles),Soup was the preferrred menu choice & a warm by the fire. (Phil :managed to drop off the "Clifton Business cards").
Returned back via Yapham & Thornton Woods to Melbourne, were we dropped Arthur off, who was content with his second Club ride, & 46 (windy) miles around roads familiar to him.
From Melbourne to York managed to clock up another 25 miles, (Sutton on Derwent Wilberfoss Stamford Brge).
Ride Distance of 70 miles, enabled Amanda to gain some useful road miles in preparation for a Century ride in America, later this Year.
Kit , please continue with reports.
