Leeds to Scarborough Saturday September 24: The Yorkshire Adventure

[colly]

Just had a look at the route out of Leeds. It's a bit tortuous but that part of Leeds is not exactly the easiest to find your way around on a bike.
Even though I live here I am not familiar with any of those routes..........................................so I'll be your local guide.................................................... and we can enjoy getting hopelessly lost.

Hope that's OK.

Anyway it'll be interesting seeing the perianal regions of Leeds.

Bike cleaned. Drivetrain glinting...I did mention the drivetrain inspection didn't I? I do have certain standards to uphold on my rides

Oh 'eck....

They're pretty low standards though to be fair... he evens lets me and @I like Skol be seen in public with him.

Just plotting the route between home and Leeds station now. Cya in the morning.

Had to decide between carb loading and bike cleaning. Tough one!
I'll give the bike a once over first thing tomorrow. Now where's my next pint.

Impressive stuff Kes. I'd be seriously tempted to ride to Huddersfield station and get a train from there. See you tomoz

Just a warning, but I'm still a bit drunk from Oktoberfest last night. Woke up after 6, stuffed a bunch of stuff in my bag and ran out of the door. No breakfast or anything.

Got to the station, next train half an hour, need to be in Liverpool in half an hour. Ride to Birkenhead, taxi through tunnel, rode onto the platform and now on the train.

Hungry, starting to get a hangover and it looks like rain.
