Hi Andy

Was wondering if the start/finish is the sports village could you tell us what the proposed route is to join the original reliability route assuming this is the same as normal. Or is it just a case of using your own initiative. Not a big issue I know but one I know a few people might be wondering too.

Thanks in advance

Jon

Yes the route will be marked from the Sport Village to the main route & as well as the return into the Finish.

Just a suggestion....some folk may wish to load the route to a GPS. Any chance you could post the relevant section of the route directions? Or perhaps just drop hints - eg via Hull Road, Foss Island Road, and Lord Mayor's Walk to Wiggy Rd or via Tang Hall Lane, Heworth Green and Penley's Grove St. to Wiggy Rd, or perhaps Haxby Rd, Haxby etc

Route distance approx now 72 miles depending on exact start/finish route btw

I've entered via BC website but entry list just shows me as a blank name - just 'Clifton CC'. I must have screwed up somehow - ? related to me not being a BC member. Will bring entry receipt as proof of entry, OK?

Dave shouldn't matter if your not a member will check it out for you. route wise we will post details of route out on webpage will try so sort Garmin file there will be some limited maps available at sign on

Perhaps the route could go out via Haxby Road to Haxby and Wigginton which would cut out that straight dangerous bit from ring road to Wigginton which we avoid normally nowadays!

hi guys

I have only recently joined the club, but have done a number of the Saturday training rides with Phil and rest of the lads, and have from time to time checked the forum in the last few weeks. In that process of checking i must have missed or over looked the ride this Sunday and seeing it, it struck me like a decent ride out and a chance to meet a few more faces from the club. But i have just tried to register on line to find that the on line entry is closed. Is it possible to just rock up Sunday (with the completed BC general entry form) and enter the ride Or is it to late?

thanks

Lee

You can just pay on the day when you get to the car park Lee, no worries. Correct change probably appreciated

YES - Entry on the day no welcome

There is an error on the garmin map.

On entering Crayke from the South, do not turn left at the Primary School then right into Jack Lane, as it peters out into a rough path.
Instead go straight on up West Way, then left onto the short but steep Church Hill....

The Google map is correct

Garmin route now corrected around Crayke.

As always a good solid ride to start the season. A bit windy but nothing to bad.Had some good company. There look like a few lads already real strong, that front group was a flier .A good turn out. thanks to all.Timj
