I'm up for it Graham, and would be happy to lead ride. Have not been able to make last few weeks but will hopefully be out Saturday. I knows it not everybody's cup of tea this ride but would be like to to see regular A riders views. Im happy to go with majority if a different ride is proposed :D

Im guessing the start time would be 10am prompt as decided from previous discussions. :D

Distance is about 90ish miles round trip from York so typical A ride fayre :D

I intend to be there on Saturday and will go through the order of climbs before you leave the square, as last year I was a bit puzzled to see the A group coming down the hill from the Huggate direction not going up it - which I an sure that you would have done at some point in the day.
I will be involved with K group of riders, so we should end up with 2 groups.

Bernard, last year I just followed Robs original route I'd done in previous years. I can remember you discussing with me last year in the square a route variation which basically took out birdsal brow I think and probably explained the slightly shorter route you declared on the challenge series. Birdsall brow isn't on e of the climbs just one of many climbs that link the the official ones :twisted:

I suppose the order depends on which climb you start with that's all . :D

Sure you won't be the only one Dr Dave most will climb at their own pace, main thing is we regroup at the top so people are not having to go into the red chasing to get back on.

If any of the K riders are going to be doing the Spiro, can we have a prompt start immediately after the A ride leaves.
