Spring into the Dales

[longers]

I know there's a couple of folk definitely interested in this on the nineteenth of April.


Anyone else?

Edit: date changed!

 

[PaulB]

I am but the 20th April is a Monday! Is this now on 19th April this year?

 

[ColinJ]

I am one of those folk!

If you have half an hour to kill and want to know a bit more about the SITD route, you could read this lengthy write-up of my SITD 2006 ride.

Paul - the audax site is still showing last year's information, so the event should be on Sunday April 19th. I'll email the organiser to get confirmation.

 

[ColinJ]

Hmm, I just sent that email, but then I remembered the West Yorkshire Super Randonneur website which also has details - yes, it's Sunday the 19th this year. There are links to photos from previous years on there.

I'm also going to do the Red Rose Ride and SITD's sister event Season of Mists later in the year.

i might do

 

[asterix]

Yes, I hope to be around to do that.

Is it one of those rides with AAA points? Not that I am a collector, I just like to know what I am letting myself in for!

Have just checked AUK and see that it has 2.25 AAA points. I think a little practice will be needed.

 

[bonj2]

AAA points? are they like airmiles in reverse?

edit: 'tis quite a bit of climbing.

Here's the route profile...

 

[Noodley]

I am considering it.

 

[Alun]

I fancy that, hopefully fit enough by then !

 

[trio25]

I'll think about this.

I think a whole new world is opening looking at Audaxes!

 

[dan_bo]

Might have a do at that myself!

 

[ColinJ]

It's a challenging and lovely 110 km route, apart from the 10 km or so from Silsden through Keighley (roughly from the 85 km point to 95 km). That's just busy northern town roads. Still, it's a small price to pay for the other 100 km!

 

[colly]

I will be on this as well.
