New Yorkshire Sportive

[SquareDaff]

Have just found out about this sportive on the 1st September. Apparently it's a new event. I know most parts of the course and, like it says, it's pretty flat so should be good for those of your that want to go quick. There's also some pretty nice villages and pubs views en route if you prefer a more leisurely pace.

Details are here! http://www.selbythreeswanssportive.org/

Looks interesting, nigh on flat, the biggest hills on it are between Saxton Cricket Club & Aberford, then coming back through Fairburn on the short route

Same day as the http://www.kippaxharriers.org.uk/lcwv2.htm
The inter-club relay

Thats what I thought - I might give it a go as I've been training out there anyway. Would be interesting to see how much more quickly I can go over 90 miles when I know the route (and hence when to put the power down and when to rest) over riding blind as I normally am.

SquareDaff - my club is having it's annual 120-mile run on September 1st; Mirfield through to Sutton Bank in North Yorkshire and back. 2011's ride is here: http://road.cc/content/news/29503-small-club-big-history-hits-another-milestone

You're welcome to join. It's a charity ride and not a sportive, so own food at the two planned cafe stops, but it'd be a donation of about £10.
