Hi wheelers, it’s the start of challenge ride season again. The first up is the Northallerton 50/4, this Sunday 17th March, departing 09.30 from Ayton high green car park. 4 hrs to complete the route, finishing at the Stokesley sign, with John kelly signing you off, either in the town square next to the toilets and the flower pots, or in his car outside the town hall, depending on the weather. Usual challenge ride rules apply, please depart in ability order from Ayton, fastest riders first, and please keep things tidy heading out through Stokesley high street and Hutton rudby bank! remember it’s not a race!
The challenge rides are not lead rides and it’s up to the participants to navigate the route arriving back within 4 hrs. Having said that it’s the trend these days for groups to form before departure. I’m happy to lead a medium paced group, as long as I can manage to not fall off again on Skutterskelfe bend.
Please arrive at Ayton in good time to sign on, and enjoy the ride. Cheers, Dave K
