I did a nice hilly ride with Bokonon and goodspeed yesterday - link.
Several CC members said that they'd like to have come along but I hadn't given them enough notice so I've decided to do the ride again on Sunday 5th April.
I've restructured the route into two loops from Mytholmroyd. Anybody who fancies a shorter ride can just do the first loop. The rest of us can go on to do the second one as well.
Loop 1, 58 km (36 miles): Mytholmroyd, Cragg Vale, Blackstone Edge, Littleborough, Hollingworth Lake, Milnrow, Newhey, Denshaw, Buckstones, Ringstone Edge Reservoir, Boothwood Reservoir, Pike End, Baitings Reservoir, Hubberton Green, Scout Road, Mytholmroyd.
Loop 2, 26 km (16 miles): Mytholmroyd, Midgley Road, Midgley, Jerusalem Lane, Booth, Jowler, Wainstalls, Cold Edge, Oxenhope Moor, Oxenhope, Cock Hill, Hebden Bridge, Mytholmroyd.
Here's the combined profile for the two loops (I've marked Mytholmroyd at the 58 km point.)
As you can see, apart from kms 14-20 (Littleborough, Milnrow, Newhey), most of the ride is either going up or down!
There is a big car park at the community centre in Mytholmroyd so I propose meeting there. If you are parking, please make a contribution in the honesty box by the entrance. The centre is on Caldene avenue, just off the A646 and just round the corner from the railway station.
Here's a map - the red circle shows the site of the community centre.
Meet at about 09:50 with a view to setting off up 'the longest continuous gradient in England' at 10:00.
Be prepared to wait for me at the tops of the hills!
Anybody fancy joining me...?
