Chipping in to help out with group-rides seeing as so many are now planning on coming to Mickey and Johnny's weekend.
I'll be concentrating mainly on the south of the Dales with a route that will take in sites such as:
Three Peaks
Ribblehead Viaduct
Malham Tarn
Malham Cove
Kilnsey Cragg
The Stridd
Bolton Abbey
Menwith Hill (If you like American-built listening posts!)
Scarr House Reservoir
Buttertubbs Pass (You'll really appreciate the Tour de France riders when you've been up and over here!)
Tan Hill
Aysgarth Falls
The epic dry-stone walls and barns scattered all around.
For those of you travelling to the area for the first time these sites and roads will give you a real taster of what we have here in good old Yorkshire!
This will be a steady ride of about 150 miles and will take 6 - 7 hrs which will include time for breaks/lunch and a bit of a walk-about to the likes of Malham Cove/The Stridd.
Aiming to leave Dent at 10.00am so ensure you are as full with juice as possible (R Johnny's thread) as Skipton will probably be our nearest fuel-stop.
Drop-off will be the order of the ride so will be looking for a tail-end to help out.
Oh and yes - we will include a few 'U' turns and we probably will get lost but who cares
