Oops, I did it again

Jeez, thats one heck of a long way. I know those roads well and it must be a lovely run that. I come
back from Middlesbrough that way heading towards Lincoln. A bit undualting as well.

Saddle sores afterwards? Walking like a gunslinger today?

Actually I feel pretty darn good today, my legs feel OK. My saddle area is well accustomed to these
long rides, I was out for 8 hours in total, about
6.5 actually moving. I managed to sleep well last night which is not always guaranteed after a long
ride. I have not travelled on those roads before so I had to stop at almost every junction to
check the map. On the way North after Garforth I was on unclassified roads mostly, through the
villages then on the return leg I was on the A61 to Ripon then a B road to Knaresborough and
Wetherby then the A58 back to Leeds.

Where are you riding from? The roads out and around Wetherby/Tadcater are my main rides. There's
some good stuff to be found. Generally see very few cars in a ride which is always a good thing. I
always try to avoid the A58 though. Going across from harewood through wike is a much quieter route,
or through east keswick and shadwell from collingham. Hope this might be of some help
