Hi those of you who are taking part in the Northallerton 50 challenge ride on Sunday. Just a few notes to consider for the ride.

1, the route has been amended slightly since last year. After taking the left hand turn at the crossroads at the top of Bullamoor and descending down to Brompton where we turn right, instead of continuing on to Ellerbeck we are now going to take the left turn just out of Brompton towards long lane crossing, then turn right before the crossing and head up the hill through the farm to rejoin the road to East Harsley. Then back East Rounton, Hutton Rudby, Stokesley, Easby lane, finishing at Fletchers farm Ayton. Actually 57miles with an extended 4hr 15 cut off.

2, unfortunately it appears that the road between Scorton and Northallerton is to be closed at Great Langton. To go around would mean turning left at Ellerton Lake which is quite a detour, so I’m going to risk it and suggest you all dismount if necessary and walk past the roadworks as pedestrians. There was also a road closure approaching East Rounton the other day, but they assured me it would be open by this weekend. If you encounter problems then can the experienced riders make a decision as to what to do. If you have to back track around then of course I will get Brian to extend the cut off time.

3, It’s not a race!!!. However if it was a race? I would suggest it finishes at the Stokesley sign approaching from Hutton Rudby, then continue on riding neutralised to Fletchers farm. We don’t really want riders speeding through Stokesley then racing up the farm track at Fletchers just so that they can sign Brian’s sheet! That would be just silly!

4, final one. If the fast riders wish to get their foot down straight away to spread out the riders in to ability groups then that would be welcome. But whatever happens please can all groups take care with keeping things tidy, particularly on the roll out, up level bank and out of Yarm to Worsal, we always receive criticism from motorists regarding riders 3 abreast and untidy on Leven bank.

Thanks, and sorry to lecture on. Please all enjoy the ride. Certificates will be available to those that want them at Fletchers farm. Thanks, Dave

Northallerton 50

Hi all, I’m afraid it looks almost ceratain that the hilly 21 TT this Sunday will have to be shortened slightly due to emergency water works on Stonestoop Hill just after the right hand turn at the T junction Ingleby Greenhow. This means the course will now turn left and go directly to easby, then left resuming the normal course. Original course is 20.2 miles. Amended course is coming out at 18.6 and minus the hill of course. Apols for this but at least we still have an event.

Hi wheelers. I realise that many of you are keen to get some dates in your diaries. So here is the list of club open time trial events, challenge rides and themed rides. I have only included dates for wheelers events this year as the overall list of events in the area is to long to list now. Please keep an eye out on the website or face book for further details near the time. Some of the challenge ride routes and dates are still to be updated on the website but it’s a work in progress as we have revamped some of the routes this year. Changes include a 3rd even harder mountain challenge route plus a “carry on up the caper” ride! All will be revealed shortly. I’m sure you are all licking your lips and eager to get training for these events. Further info to follow, cheers, Dave
