Notes
The club hosts a Reliability Ride every February, one of 11 such early season rides in Yorkshire. Typically, over 100 riders enter each year. If you want to take part in this ride (or its 90km bigger brother) follow the links through the club website here.
Note the ride will now take place on 15th Feb whereas it had previously been planned for 1st Feb. This is because dates have had to be rearranged to avoid road closures.
The shorter ride also has a friendlier route than in previous years. Riders will leave Otley following the route of the longer ride and then break with this ride at Bolton Abbey to follow the quieter road to Billy Bobs at Halton East (stopping perhaps for coffee?) before returning, after crossing the busy A59, by the back road to Ilkley finishing at Chevin Cycles in 3 hours.
