we saw that last year here in Barnard Castle....well worth it...a really good evening . Probably our greatest female cyclist. Equivalent of Eddie Merckx when you look at what she achieved against the odds. Have fun Jenny.

scary stuff Martin....great ride.

Sent my top back with Mark Dan. Can you sort it with him please.
-
for interests sake in case anyone is.......... I could have managed a ride but it wouldn't have been a tough mountainous day. I am recovered now but it took a couple of days to feel strong again. Weather is good this Sunday so will try another block …

well, that was a wake-up call. saturday's ride was a fast 95 mile rolling route with 4500ft. probably 16mphav. Sunday saw us ride 9500ft of long and hard climbing in 84 miles at 12-13mph av. Today we finished with a rolling 40 miles probably 2500ft a…
-
well that hurt.Knocked off a couple of loops to make it 84 miles and 9000ft climbing at an average of 12mph. Happy enough at this stage but hoping to average 14mph on this sort of ride by september. Did a nice 95 mile route on Friday with 4500ft clim…

Here's the Saturday route Mark. Jeremy and another will join us for the Sunday ride. Any more takers for riding 13th 14th ? https://www.mapmyfitness.com/routes/view/2530409872

Good news Mark. The more the merrier. Got a couple of tough rides ready for you. 😁 Expect you will sail through them and kill me.
-
good luck everyone racing tomorrow. It's just wonderful to see all ages racing the track. Special note to Mark who has been a constant presence since we started the youth section. Thank you for being such a foundation rock for the club Mark.
-
Well done Martin. Think I posted this ride in 2017 but chickened out. Awesome stats. Was riding boltby to Hawnby on Sunday but only a 190km ride. and nothing like your climbing. Hurts just reading this.
-
well that hurt...........just under 120 miles today after 50 yesterday and planning another 50 tomorrow. Legs felt good so just need to work on speed now. 9 hrs in the saddle ok but wrists and lower back feeling it. the only way I can get the body us…

Out tomorrow with Jeremy on a stage of one of the longer rides for the end of the month. Mark is coming up 29th 30th June for some climbing, any one else interested?
-
the race was on eurosport. Watched it unfold. Sophie managed to stay out of the trouble with crashes and positioned herself well in the 5 who finished clear of the rest. From what I saw she was as strong as the other riders and finishing fast.They kn…

understand. Harley, travis and archie bracewell want to come up. Maybe coordinate with them and send Ellie up. I can always pick people up from darlington. Harley and travis came up with kit and bikes last time by train. Let me know either way
-
If you want to share the mobile I can offer Ellie a spare bed in the house Dave. Hows the collar bone?

I've edited the routes for this weekend. Check the thread above for details.

Okay everyone. I've seen the route profile. Day 2 this weekend will be longer. We need to bite the bullet and prepare . You need to understand what 3 consecutive days of 10000ft climbing feels like. I can emulate the total height and duration up here…
-
The weather up here for those 3 days is looking promising. A little westerly breeze but warm with sunny periods and little risk of rain. Perfect. See you soon
-
Maybe Jeremy. There are 6000ft climbing in this ride and it's early doors for the training. The climb over Grinton moor from the south is tough and then the cafe stop for a chance to review. Low row before the Stang are another two tough climbs to f…
