Cleveland Wheelers

Hi wheelers.  Further details for this Sundays Rough stuff challenge ride event. So meeting at fletchers farm as usually to sign on and be ready to depart for 09:30. An appropriate off road bicycle will be helpful. For this year we are going to have a change and ride over to the top of Carlton bank to coincide with the scattering of Brian Bevis’s ashes at 11am. Any riders going by road can just meet us up there.  Please find the route devised by Shaun Joughin below.  Riders have 4 1/2 hrs to complete the route, finishing back at the Dudley Arms Ingleby Greenhow. As usual with the challenge rides, part of the challenge is to be self sufficient and be able to navigate the route. See you there, Thanks, Dave K

Hi Wheelers. This Sunday 20th September is the premiere event of the year, the Castleton 50 in 4.  Continuing with the new start at Ayton high green car park with the finish at the Dudley arms Ingleby Greenhow. So basically we will roll out along Fletchers lane to join the old course on Easby lane. Head up to Ingleby and Clay steep side, Helmsley, Kirbymoorside, Blakey ridge, descend in to Castletown and take the 2nd left over the cattle grid to Dibble bridge, out on to Hob Hole Climb, artists cottage, Kildale, Battersby, with the route finishing at the top of Stone stoop hill and sign off at the Dudley arms. As usual with the challenge rides, part of the challenge is being prepared, navigating the route and finishing within the 4hrs cut off time. This is not a lead ride, however I am expecting ability groups will form in the car park. Please arrive in good time to sign on and be ready to roll out for 09:30. If you can all try and depart in speed order with the fastest riders first please, keep your riding neat and tidy, and remember “it’s not a race”!  Enjoy the ride. Follow the link below for further details. 

Thanks, Dave K
