Post by ianfitz »

It's not that far off now and I'd not seen anything about it here. Who is riding?

I was, then my social secretary told me we were entertaining the barringtons.
So now I'm not.

I'd imagine a fair proportion of the barringtons would be entertained by a couple of hundred kilometres of classic Yorkshire riding!

I'm going to be there. It's been dry all week up north so conditions should be great.

Good stuff stu. I had done family stuff that cropped up late on to mean I was a DNS.

What times did people ride?

I got round in 14 hours in first, then second was around 16hours I think Ben on here came in around 19hours there was a few folk spread right through the night think stu rider had a long night!

Top route really I'm not expecting the BB 200 to be that easy though! Was expecting you to come back for unfinished business!

I had entered and would have loved to have been in the group start but done family stuff cropped up late in the day. I'm planning on taking a sneaky day off work this, or next week and riding a solo effort.

The ground conditions are the best I have seen them at this time of year with the exception of a couple of bits you'll really enjoy! Oh and enjoy the never ending supply of gates! ;-)

Oh man I love gates. Started with an early trip round the Mary Townley Loop which has more gates per mile than any other known route in the uk*

Looking forwards to it. Looks like sometime Wednesday/Thursday/Friday should be a good break in the weather.










*may not be entirely accurate. But certainly feels like it!

Had a ride round it on Thursday. Stunning day but hardly saw anyone out. Really enjoyed the route. Managed to resist the lure of several very nice looking cafes!

Good to pop in and see stu afterwards too.
