Inters/A-Ride for Jun 25

Post by Tony »

We've not been to How Steen for a while, and they serve a good pint :lol: so I figured it was time to redux the route we did on Feb 27, since it adds an extra twist and our guest rider asked for some hills.

Temps expected in the high teens, with slight 'obligatory wind' (Dave Ward also noticed, so I'm not the only one :P) from the NW, and a good chance of getting wet in the afternoon.

A fairly standard outbound route with a return via Brimham Rocks, however, this variation adds another twist, namely Hartwith Bank; an exactly one-mile climb out of Summerbridge up to Brimham Rocks Rd; Veloviewer: Hartwith Bank peaking at 21% gradient before easing off up to the crossroads at the top.

Depending on the numbers and composition of the group, we may need to split into pace groups.

150Km / 93 miles square to square, plus a few lumpy bits :P

View and download the route at RidewithGPS or click the map.
