Hi All

Does anyone have any links that show the route for the race next Thursday?

Thanks

Don't have a map but it's dead easy to follow on an OS - Neutralised from North Duffield north through Skipwith, turn right at Hall Farm whereupon hostilities commence. North through Thorganby, through Wheldrake and left to Escrick. Left at junction just south of Escrick, then south to Hall Farm where left and repeat. Finish is on the straight stretch of road just after Thorganby around Mattie Brown Wood. Take care with traffic through Wheldrake (there's a convenience store) and the potholes about halfway along the Wheldrake/Escrick stretch. Otherwise safe.

Cheers Phil

I get that as about 11 miles and flat as a pancake. Sound right?

Yup. Very brief kick up after the left turn outside Escrick, but anyone getting dropped on that really isn't trying. Having now seen the list of riders, it should be pretty quick, though!

I've been working away so haven't had my mind on cycling - didn't know this was going on. A couple of mates asked if I wanted to join them for a couple of hours on the bike. We're biking down Wheldrake main st and the first I knew about it was Fraz passed by in the lead car and shouted something like do you know there's a race up your a**e? We got off the road. I saw Cam and Phil looking comfortable in the bunch - hope it went ok.
