England : North Yorkshire Goodbye Christmas Yorkshire Pudding 100k 8 Jan 2017

[DCLane]

I've entered this with my 12 year-old: http://www.aukweb.net/events/detail/16-611/

It'll be his first audax and, whilst he's done 200k before, he's not done something like this.

Last year's ride was a quiet route through east Yorkshire but this appears to be villages and busier roads. I hope it isn't too busy.

Is anyone else riding this one?

Looks fairly busy roads like you say , but then i am not really local enough to comment

 

[Joffey]

The only really busy roads are the ones through the City. I've cycled all the others and they aren't that bad. Looks a good little route actually.

Do you have a GPX file for the route?

All credit to him, I could never imagine a 12 year old doing that kind of milage

Do you have a GPX file for the route?

Thanks for replying. I was expecting somebody to post that link, but it is the answer to a question that I did not ask!

I can't see any way of getting a GPX file from there without being forced to join Strava.

Ah thought you had just missed it, I can email it you if you PM me an email address

Thanks. I did try going the Strava route last night but I am not a member and don't really want to be. I tried registering using my Google credentials but it wouldn't let me in for some reason; after that I decided not to bother!

Why not just attach the GPX file to a post like this, below ... (The route of Busdennis's 2016 Humber Bridge ride.) (Use the 'Upload a File' button.)

Actually how aboout come over with it on a platter & if you ask nicely I'll even ride the route for you. Sorry I was only trying to help you, but I don't take sarcasm very well, so as far as I'm concerned you can find another way of obtaining it.

You know what ... I actually am having a really bad day and you just made it worse - thanks a lot mate!

I thought it would be easier for you, and that anybody else on the forum who was interested would also have the benefit of your file.

Let's just ignore each other in future ...

I can understand that, with the attitude you've got with people who are trying to help you, god knows what you're like with other people.

Sounds a plan to me.

Hi @ColinJ
I am a Strava member..... attached is the download.

We've ridden this audax several times over the last few years, but this is the first time it has "moved" from Thorne to York (wonder if that;s because of the unwillingness of the Cafe to open lasrt year caused a significant amount of moaning).....

Mrs Kes and I are also planning to ride again this yoear and although I'm not familiar with the new roads I suspect it will still be a fun (if typically bloody cold and/or wet 100k).

edit: ooops didnt see Phaeton had actually attached the gpx..... I'l leave it here in case colin is actively ignoring him.....

 

[busdennis]

would be interested in doing this if a cyclechat group formed, if not will just stay local

 

[EasyPeez]

Do these things run whatever the weather? Seems a bit of a gamble organising an audax in January with the risk of ice.

I'd be interested if a group formed.

 

[PMarkey]

Yes they tend to run regardless , if their is a possibility of ice on the day then it's up to the individual to decide if they want to risk riding .
