Notes
This is the big one. An annual club ride over 40+ years in the making. The premise is simple complete the 100 mile+ route in 8 hours, includes any stops. One big hill to tackle Fleet Moss from Hawes.
Depart 9.10am from the Buttercross, finish with a drink in the Black Horse, Otley. Aim get there before 5.10pm.
Safety, pace, and ride notes
Plan will be to ride the route to Hawes for a lunch stop.
This years route is less hilly (1200ft less) than recent previous versions, though a bit longer (plus 5 miles). With less hills average speed should be higher.
Kit, preparation, and weather
Keep an eye on the forecast prior to the ride. Definitely a 2 bottle ride and multiple energy bars and gels.
