Another great day out. I missed last year so was eager to get back on it this year. Also have been getting fitter doing lots of (non cycling) training and expecting to get a big new PB. Well, I got the PB, but only by a few mins. I guess I need to go out and ride some more 🙂
Elvis was a masterstroke. Really was surreal, and the piper ‘borrowed’ from the Kielder 100 was a nice touch too.
Bloody cold at the top of the Pennine Way climb, can’t ever remember having numb fingers on the CVMBC before. Brrrr… And the Kirklees bridleway ‘refurb’ team have been out too. How long ago was Meltham cop smoothed over? It’s 18 months since I moved from there and haven’t been back since, but a great mud fest has been totally taken out.
Good speed down the hill into Marsden past the cricket ground. The Strava speed trap reckoned I was on 49mph – not bad for knobbly tyres 🙂
And good to see some familiar faces – mintimperial, we’ll have to get some dates in the diary for a catch up ride around those parts again 🙂
