Notes
The ToB will come up Greenhow from about 12:30. The plan is to give ourselves plenty of time, get to Toft Barn Cafe about an hour before (anticipating it will be busy) and get coffee/cake/lunch before watching the race. Then coming back via Wharfedale.
Safety, pace, and ride notes
Pace will be very social. At the bottom of Peat Lane is a badly broken-surfaced very steep S-bend which is quite difficult to negotiate, but it is only short (easily walked if necessary) and the rest of it is a lovely quiet climb.
Kit, preparation, and weather
Weather currently looking changeable. Come prepared for hanging around to watch the race.
