Sunday Clubrun, 14 August
Posted: Mon Aug 08, 2016 9:20 pm
Something a bit different this Sunday. A ride into West Yorkshire to tackle the cobbled climbs of Calderdale. Check out the route details here https://ridewithgps.com/routes/11833302.
Takes in the pavé climbs around Halifax of Trooper Lane (19%), Shibden Wall (15%) and Old Lane (22%). There's also a couple of downhill cobbled sections, plus a km or so of gravel over Ilkley Moor. Overall about 210km and planning two cafe stops.
I'd recommend at least 25mm tyres, letting a bit of air out and a good pair of brakes. And perhaps a good sense of humour too...
Early start - meet 8am in the Square.
