Temperatures overnight Saturday into Sunday caused us to activate the "Icey Sunday Protocol", which can be generally summarised as "stick to the bus routes". To this end we followed the A166 to Balloon Tree, then north through Buttercrambe and on over Gally Gap. With the mercury still stuck resolutely at minus 3°Garmin at Malton, we stuck to the B road all the way through Hovingham and Stonegrave to Helmesley. Rather more single file riding than usual, but pleasant enough. The countryside looked fantastic.
Steaming bowl of soup in the cafe, then back home along the B road through Brandsby and to York. The frost was finally clear by Pottery Lane. Just 106km, and home well before 2pm. Beats a turbo session any day. Thanks to Andy, Andrew and Muzzy for company.
Pateley next week.
