A metric century forum ride: Harrogate, Lofthouse, Masham. RAIN STOPPED PLAY [Slight change to route].

Or the world championships a few years ago!⛈️⛈️⛈️

Um.. that what the 2019 UCIs were. The Mens U23 time trial was the only one I watched wholly on the TV. The rain eased a touch for the womens time trial in the afternoon albeit delayed in its start and I got one of my better videos of the event greatly assisted by the commentary from the PA

Not a nice experience for a recumbent cyclist on Trapping Hill today

Yikes! That is a nightmare scenario, but fortunately it sounds like he wasn't badly hurt.

I had forgotten to return to this thread to say that I am going to put this forum ride off until next year. I am currently not well enough to tackle it, and I will be going away in October. I don't really fancy doing it in November after the clocks have gone back. Let's see about doing it next spring?
