Saturday 18th & Sunday 19th


Busy weekend coming up with the North West Passage Audax on Saturday and the 3RT Reliability Ride on Sunday.

I'm giving the NWP a miss this year but I understand that Mel is bringing a crack team over from Wharfedale to fly the colours at the sharp end and Simon (says) he's going for a more measured approach. Details as per Audax web site, entries on the day accepted.

All being well I will be riding the 3RT Reliability Ride which starts from outside the Ritz in Brighouse at 9am on Sunday. According to the Strava route its 62.6 miles with 6954 ft of climbing, finishing at a hostelry at the top of Rastrick .  £4 to enter on the day. The route and GPX (or TCX if you prefer) can be found at https://www.strava.com/routes/7314947 Be warned, Brian and Grimpy are threatening to join me.


I've foolishly agreed to join Simon on the NW Passage. However I'm hoping for a leisurely tour with at least two food stops ...
