Hopefully a 90-100 mile round trip to Derby for me.

I was going to do similar, one way with a tent but can't go. Hope it's a good weekend for all.

Grassington will be a good trip out Postman, nice round there.

Going to check something out tomorrow.From Bolton Abbey to Burnsall.On that road the bike seems to get heavier and my legs go like lead.Once past everything ok.It's weird.

Can a road surface make a difference ,it's as though the tyres are being sucked down.

It is a deceptively hilly bit of road that - I always think it is flatter than it actually is. It's even harder on a loaded touring bike on a Friday evening. The decent into Burnsall is good though!

They have resurfaced it.Tar and thrown down that grey chippings stuff.Still loose but much easier to cycle on .Found it much better. Also found Hebden what a lovely place.
