I would be in favour of banging some extra miles on when the days get longer. However - Strines and Snake is still the best!

Don’t forget there is still Rob’s ride to come:- Over Marsden, Isle of Skye Rd, Holme Moss, Glossop, Snake Pass, Strines and home. Approx 100 miles. We’ve had all the weather imaginable on previous rides, including an epic blizzard over the Strines, tough going after 80 miles of hills!!

Let’s DO IT!

Fry up Phil mentioned that a ride out to Knaresborough would be a pleasant change, when considering routes for the Spring and Summer.

How about trying this over 2 runs?
http://www.cycle-n-sleep.co.uk/local%20routes/west%20yorkshire/west%20yorkshire%20cycle%20route.htm
pick up the route at Scammonden follow as far as we can week one, week 2 same start point opposite direction ( doh!) and hopefully get to point we stopped at last week.
Bit different to doing out and back, hills on each week and new roads

Martyn - that book on your link is for hippies

I’ve got that leaflet in laminated form and always fancied doing it but there is a lot of track riding, would take a little effort sorting a total road route but I’m sure you would relish that Martyn!

Doug the newer version shows people riding on the road! progress but yes the original web site did give the impression families were doing it on tracks, typical councils!
Steve, the latest map shows which sections are ‘off road’ and it may well be that they are greenways now?
Of the 150 miles ( 2 club runs length)it is round Garforth and wetherby which shows as off highway
Still Steve will be testing so it doesn’t affect him!!!

OOOHHHH 2 clubs is it now? A least I “try” a bit of both. (Try being the main word in that sentence!!!)

As former Thorper Clint Eastwood said, ” man’s got to know his limitations”
followed by, “well do you feel lucky punk”

I feel like playing ‘Kerplunk’.
