zacklaws said:Have we got any detailed timings yet to meet, my problem is I need to make my plans as soon as possible as I have to bring my partner through to Leeds that morning as her sister is very ill, and then I do not know whether to bike from her Sisters if I have time or carry on and park up with everyone else at the car park. So I need to formulate a good plan. Is it quicker round the NE side of the ring road by car or bike with no RLJing from Seacroft? My experience of that area by car is it is very slow, but there again I may have always caught rush hour.
Apologies if the timings have been posted earlier in the thread but I've just done a long ride in the Wolds and I'm too shattered to be searching around and just want to go to bed to recover.
Yes, thanks colly. 52 hilly miles will be enough for me and I especially wouldn't fancy that long drag out of the city centre in traffic to start with.longers said:A lift would still be great Colly. I think I've got to be up at half five to porridge and get to Rochdale for the train so I'll let Colin know if I fail, but I am looking forward to this.

If we ride out to Burnsall first and then call in at Cavendish Pavilion on the way back on that nice lane from Appletreewick, that would be after 30 miles. I don't know if that was what Will had in mind but that would suit me. I prefer cafe stops after the halfway point because it makes the ride back shorter.longers said:How far is the cafe stop round the route please, just so I know when I can start thinking about food?
I can think of 2 reasons why I'd prefer not to do it that way round!Bokonon said:Either that or do the loop from Beamsley in the other direction - Storiths, Appletreewick, Burnsall - which should be a bit more than 30 miles, but then gives several options for cake stops around Bolton Abbey.
