Gizzajob and others will be doing a (in total) 65 mile/ 5 hour ride extending the EB ride all welcome. Pace will be steady
(Cacophony will not now ride as Mrs Cacophony is away sunning, and Loud offspring are more important than cycling, apparently)?

How come it is a 7am start tomorrow?

I think that is a typo from the previous week - I’ll be there at 630am.

Saturday’s Alternative Route

The alternative/longer EB ride on Saturday will meet at 7 at normal place but will now do a modified White Rose Medium route via Askwith – Greenhow – Grassington – Arncliffe – Halton Gill – Silverdale – Malham – Hetton – Thorpe – Barden – Langbar(if we feel like).

According to Memory-Map its 73 miles and 7400 feet of ascent (with Langbar it’s 73.5 miles and 8000 feet).

The pace will be steady and will be a good test for anyone attempting the Long White Rose ride on June 8th who is not sure if they will manage it or not!

I think at least myself, Harry Q, Richard and John E will be attempting. All welcome.

Good route guys. Remember it for another Sunday

Northside of Littondale, of course, on Saturday. It’s the only choice!

Nice route choice Gizzajob, spot on preparation for the White Rose.

Could be the perfect warm up ride for the Etape du Dales, El Cid.
