~ Bicyclemania Ride ~
Our trailfinder was up for a good crank around the British Heart
Foundation set route on and around the East Lancashire/West
Yorkshire Moors. Chiefy was primed for the 'Gold 52 Mile'
charity ride, you could of pick a lesser distance comprising of
'Silver 29 Miles & 'Bronze 22 Miles.
 ~
Sun, Sun & More Sun ~
The weather was
set, it was warm, sunny and very little wind, what a day for
cycling. The route as usual was marketed and marshalled at all
the main points, plus pit-stops on route too. The gold route
started at Hollingsworth Lake and headed towards Halifax,
climbing Blackstone Edge with a convenient pit-stop at the White
Horse pub.
~ Road Tyres Are The Orders For The Day ~
The route then
crossed the East Lancashire & West Yorkshire Moors through part
of the Calder Valley and on to Hebden Bridge. The route headed
up Heptonstall Hill to take the high road to Burnley before
descending into Todmorden. The return route took you via Hebden
Bridge, Mytholmroyd, Cragg Vale and the easier route down
Blackstone Edge before returning to Hollingsworth Lake. |
