Last Of The Summer Wine.

[SS Retro]

Took the single speed to Yorkshire for a weekend with my buddy Lee also a steel frames single speed/fixie man.​

​

We did a loop up onto the moors out of Huddersfield and along some of the 2014 Tour de France route, seriously I thought the lakes hills were bad but here I found the 4&5 mile climbs hard compared to riding back home, when I got back after only 30miles I was shattered. ​

​

We were both riding SS for the long descents where we were regularly hitting 40+ mph.​

​

We did have a coffee stop in Holmfirth at Sids & Ivys cafe from Last of the Summer Wine.​
