Is anyone doing the Ryedale Rumble on the 9th of August? I know it is a fair way away but I need to get some training in because it will be my first Sportif. I have signed up for route 2.

I am doing the medium as well with a friend . I should expect their will be quite a few Clifton riders doing it.

Hi

Great. I have never done one before - I hear this one is quite tough.

Did 70 miles up to Wass Bank and back via Yearsley Bank and Sheriff Hutton today - good training.

After some serious mickey taking by Kevin on the Saturday ride, I thought I had better recce this route before the big day to see what I have let myself in for!

I am doing route 2 and am planning to ride it (with a cafe stop on this occassion) sometime over the next few weeks.

I will let you all know when through the forum in case anyone fancies joining me.

After a week on the booze on what was supposed to have been a sunny Devon family holiday I am spectacularly out of shape!

I can therefore not think of a better time to recce the new route 2 on the Rumble! I am planning to do this tomorrow (Sunday 2nd) if anyone fancies it?

I will be driving up to Gilling East aiming to set off from there about 10ish.

No takers so I did the route on my own in hot sunshinre and a stiff head wind!

It is pretty tough! As I am sure you guys all know Boltby bank is a killer, with a treacherous descent shortly afterwards with a deep ford at the bottom, followed by another steep climb - I foresee chaos!

Hi all doing the Rumble no2, I intend starting at about 9.15 from Gilling, I have noticed a number of others from Clifton as well as those who have contributed above.
Perhaps we can ride in a group?

I'm down for the long route, but will be deciding whether to drop down to the middle route at the top of Blakey Bank! Looking to start around 08:00, so will keep an eye open for Clifton jerseys. Let's see if I can stay with them for a bit longer than at the Richmond Sportive...
