Easy Ride

Pretty flat and less than 30 miles. After a few weeks of tough rides – I thought it was time to do something a bit easier this week.
How about Boroughbridge, Newby Hall, Ripon (cafe) and back. Forecast at the moment is looking good for Sunday, so no excuse. – led by Ian

See you there!

Masham would be an idea as we haven’t been there for a while and there is a choice of routes and cafes. About 40 ish miles with a few hills. I am informed that the weather is to be ‘Banging’– led by Richard

90Km Fairly flat. Easingwold via Wass Bank & Amplethorpe. – led by Mark.

Team Easy – Tour d’Otley

About 35 miles or so. Following last weeks Tour de Yorkshire I thought we could do our own scaled down version.
I was thinking of leading a ride over the category 3 climb of Col de Rudding Park, then into Kirkby Overblow, Castley and Pool before the intermediate sprint to the feeding station in Otley.
Then its out towards Farnley before the category 1 climb of Leathley Bank (well the alternative version via Braythorn anyway), fast descent into Burn Bridge and back via Hookstone and Forest Moor. Finishing line at the Half Moon where prizes will be awarded for Yellow and Green jersey and King / Queen of the Mountains and not getting lost. – led by Ian
