Just marking your card about this week's Sunday clubrun.

It's "only" 200km, but boy it's a belter! Loads of climbing with some hills so steep there's special high friction tarmac (I kid you not). 4 years ago Skymoos famously pronounced this the hardest clubrun he'd ever done. Good value for 3 points....

This ride has a one-cafe strategy, so bring a few bananas.

0800 Start, Exhibition Square

See you there.

Darn it. I was thinking of coming out for my first club run for ages this Sunday but this ride two years ago was the last Sunday ride I joined and it nearly killed me when I was "fit".
Enjoy as it is a true belter, be prepared to curse Rob under your breath as you take in what seems like every hill, lump & bump in North Yorkshire.

Maybe see you next week.

Im in, sounds epic!

Any indication what the elevation will be over the full ride?

I've just looked over past posts and it appears to be around 3000m. :twisted:
