I'm going for the triple of Wiggle Yorkshire Sportives for the first time this year and have just signed up for this one

https://www.ukcyclingevents.co.uk/events/wiggle-ay-up-yorkshire-sportive/

Anyone else taking part? I've signed up for the 'Standard' route at 55 miles / 3,254ft climbing along with a couple of mates.

Apart from the roads around the start / finish this will all be new territory for me. Looking at the route, the climb up Low Town Bank Road from Kilburn looks "interesting" :eek:

Edited to remove incorrect link. @ColinJ 's post below shows the climb.

Puzzle game procrastinator!
That isn't the road, it seems to be a footpath!

This is the road ...

Still tough though - an average of 11.8% for 1.4 km, with steeper ramps in there!

Anyone else doing this tomorrow?

Slightly concerned to see at least one forecast giving a temperature of 1C overnight in Thirsk, and just 2C predicted at 8am....cold and chilly I can wrap up against, a real possibility of ice on the roads is a very different matter...:cold:

Looks like a nice day for it other than that.
