Discussed this out on the bikes at the weekend. General consensus was "that it'd be rude not to". Sounds like Iain, Paul, Steve and I are all up for it. Anyone else interested? Probable date would be Sun 16th Dec. May need to be flexible on the date at the last minute if the weather forecast looks dangerous. Its a cracking day out - three rides for the price of one. 50 flat miles to Leyburn cafe. 40 mountainous miles around Buttertubs and Tan Hill back to Leyburn again. Then 50 flat miles back, in the dark, to York. Don't get too carried away with the lighting issue; you need some half decent lights, but you don't need a second mortgage. More importantly you need to be fit/hard enough to handle 140 miles with some serious climbing in the middle of the winter...... This'll be the 4th time we've done it and we've always got everybody round without too much melodrama. Anybody fancy joining us?
As the finishing touch to your preparation I'll plan an optional extension to the clubrun this Sunday to take it a little over 100miles. Prob round Dalby/Troutsdale. See you there.
