Wednesday Run and Sunday 3rd March

What a superb day, when the weather is like it has been today there can be no better place in the world to cycle than Yorkshire. There was an attendance of 14 for today's ride, with the best weather coming in from the east we he headed out to Knaresborough for lunch and in addition to blue skies and clear views we also enjoyed a helping wind on the way home.
Our return journey was made via the Beryl Burton Way to Bilton and then Penny Pot Lane, Timble, Low Snowdon and Askwith, up the Chevin and down through Esholt before hitting the busy roads round Bradford.

Sunday 3rd March
I'm meeting Paul Daly at 9am outside the Ritz at Brighouse next Sunday for a 'Ronde van Calderdale' Recce. We're not doing the full route, joining the route up at the top of Rastrick then following it as far as the top of Old Lane after Luddenden village then missing Jowler, Fly Flatt and Cock Hill and going down to Hebden Bridge for a cafe stop (Paul needs frequent injections of tea). Then we'll pick up the route again and follow it through to the top of Trooper Lane where you will be allowed to go home and lie down.
