At the library today were El President , Fryup , sky John , Jonny John , Garry , damien , Mick the ref , Dave the bobby Hirst ,Martin Lucas , Gentleman Geoff and myself Mad John .

At the library the decision was made to go to Earby the hilly way and it was the very hilly way Or as fryup says its all down hill ,

Off we set through Brighouse towards Elland  a right turn up an hill ” dont know what its called ” but its tough, right to the top and left onto a cobbled section  up to the main road across that and onto another road that leads to a steep section of cobbles, last time we did this route we lost a couple of riders at this point after this it was some very steep ups and downs untill we came to peckett well,

Up the long climb and down the other side which is a great descent and we split at the bottom mick,dave,phil and martin going on to Rossis while the rest of us still had lots more climbing to do , so to Stanbury it was then over laneshaw then another long climb up to the black lane ends pub ? i think then down the other side and a left turn towards Earby were we pulled up at the cafe and i must say Phil you can pick them because this is one of the best cafes ive been to while with the club .

Most had Full English but Jonny and Myself opted for Ploughmans and yes it had salad and it was awesome .

All fed and watered we set off back on yet more hilly roads towards colonby? and towards the bypass were we were hitting speeds of 31 mph all the way back to Bradford ,after that it was back home via wakefield road and home .

Stats for me.

80 miles with lots of climbing “anybody have a garmin”

Ave speed 15 mph

Awesome day Great company Even better food and plenty of hills a manx man in green a great finish to the day.

See you all next week Untill then have fun.
