Much more hilly than the Fenland Flight (duh) and done on Galaxy instead of Trek 1000, yet faster. And unlike that ride, I feel human immiediately after stopping, and could've gone on (perhaps not quite ready for a 300 though). Met a nice French guy who I cycled with. I'll try to do a proper RR tomorrow.
Tan Hill Challenge info arrived in the post today so will be studying that in great detail and get my GPS tracklog made up ready. Must work out accomodation and travel options.

Make sure you hunt me down and say hello. I'll be on a yellow Merckx. I have been looking at the route sheet, as we reformatted it to fit in a A6 route sheet holder, I know all of the hills, but strangely only descended some of them. A good route in the Dales, harder than I first thought, but still looking forward to it with relish. This ride falls between the Bowland Grimpeur and The Other Fleet Moss Randonee, so I hope my climbing legs are now properly tuned. After this weekends DIY 400, RR to follow, I am knackered and not really looking forward to much more than a recovery ride !!

It's about 5 miles from the north end of York to the start, so staying at the York YHA and riding out is an option. There's also plenty of B&Bs at that end of town (or the centre)
