Sunday Sportive

Just had a chat with Craig  Johnson, there is a sportive from Horsforth ,leeds this Sunday.  Options of 100 km or 100 mile route.

 We are aiming to leave at 0800 ride to Horsforth , do the ride then ride back which will be about 150 Kms

 Route goes into Otley, Norwood, Ripon,Boroughbridge, Leathley,Pool Bank and finishes back at Horsforth Rugby Club ( hmm bar!!)

 anyone want to make one in?

    Thanks for the offer Martyn, but the club runs are quality at the moment, and not to be missed.

    didn’t do the full route, as Craig wanted to be back and working.
    Although we did see sportive riders walking up some of the hills, and spoke to one on the way back who said there was no feed stations on the event, so glad we didn’t do it!

    But we had an ejoyable run and a route worthy of doing again.

    Up the greenway to Bradford, Shipley to Otley ( break), Norwood edge and over to Summerbridge then right along to Ripley and Knaresborough, (break) back through harrogate and leathely to Otley (break) and home over the Chevin, Canal Road and Greenway.

    a few showers, plenty of wind but 120 kms at 21.8 average

    It sounds just like a club run to me, we do one every Sunday from Mirfield 9am at the library and everyone is welcome even club members!!!!
