Given the continued rain for the next few days and chance of showers on Sat, fenders might be a good idea.

Inters/A-Ride for Sat, Apr 30
Posting an easy route to try and intercept the TdY at Harewood. I thought we'd take the long route to Knaresborough, stop for a bite, and then putter over through Kirkby Overblow aiming to get to Harewood by ~13:45, which is an hour before the race is scheduled to pass through. Return via Wetherby.

Re: Inters/A-Ride for Sat, Apr 30
There was some discussion at the pub last night re: heading up to Blakey Ridge on Sunday (5/1).
The race starts ~11:30 and is scheduled to pass through HLH ~13:45.
Depending on conditions and allowing for a mechanical or other mishap, we should take 2-2.5hrs to reach HLH from York (via Strensall, Flaxton, Castle Howard).
Meeting in the square at 10 should get us up there allowing time to find a good spot, secure the bikes and perhaps even a caffeine infusion if we're ahead of schedule.

Sounds like a plan Tony, won't be joining you Saturday though as I'm gonna go see the women's race in the morning as it passes just down the road from where I live and then watch the men in the afternoon. May consider heading to square on Sunday to ride out to HLH with you guys. Hope to see you then
