Hi Wheelers. It’s the 100 in 8 challenge ride this Sunday 16th June. Sign on at Ayton high green car park ready for a 9am roll out. I have taken on board a few grumblings regarding what was the main road route back from Bedale and Northallerton over to Osmotherly, and amended this part of the route. From Bedale we follow what I call the “Bernie Powell tandem cafe route” and head back via Kirkby Fleetham and Danby whisk, finishing at the Tannery Ayton. Please familiarise yourself with the route as navigating your way is part of the challenge. Stoping at the Tandem cafe Bedale is an option but please be mindful of the time as you have maximum 8 hrs to complete. The co-op and a meal deal at Masham is a much quicker option. The challenge rides arnt generally lead rides, however I anticipate 2 or 3 groups forming, steady, medium and fast. This is a great ride for anyone attempting their first 100 miler. It’s long but not a ridiculously difficult route.
See you all there Sunday. Thanks, Dave K
