Arch said:Selby isn't great. There is a cafe with a Penny Farthing shaped plant holder in the window though...
I was looking at the contours on the map, and working out the flattest way to Castle Howard - flat being relative of course.
Uncle Phil said:If I am involved in another ride out, I have plans for a route involving just that. There'd be more tea stops, partly because (a) that's our manor, and we know all the tea shops, and ( because there are more tea shops.

Uncle Phil said:It's slightly less killing than Bulmer Bank or Terrington Bank, and the monumnet is a good excuse for a rest at the top. Then you're cycling the avenue itself in the direction its designer (Vanbrugh?) intended.

Thoroughly enjoyed the day & the ride,
felt I could have done another 50 odd miles at the end of the day; however I actually felt 50 odd this morning when I was woken up
My top speed of 37.1 was quite impressive / scary down the biggest hill, though I reckon Spandex notion his rolling speed was higher due to thinner / higher pressure tyres was due to the size / weight of his calf muscles which are akin to Popeye's forearms
Thank's again to the organisers for the ride, Arch for the cake & Shaun for the lift (& website)
