Yes - it was a great day out on the bikes!
Once the early chilly mist had lifted we got a splendid sunny spring day. We didn't really have any problems with the wind, unlike some recent editions of SITD.
We were greatly surprised to find that the hilltops at the start of the ride were dusted with snow! It all melted while we were out, but it was nice to see.
I have been caught out by cold conditions on SITD and also been over-dressed other years so I wore layers today and gradually removed the spare ones as the day warmed up. As you can see in the photos below - it did!
@busdennis - it seems that I do have the right day for the York-Hull ride in my diary ... Sat, 25th June. For some reason, I didn't have it in my brain!
I have chosen Sat, 2nd July for the Settle ride. That date would have to change if the weather turned out awful because I am not going to tackle huge, steep Dales climbs in thunderstorms etc., but hopefully we would get a day like today for it!
My Rivington ride from Todmorden is going to be on Sat, 7th May.
