The short route is a delightful twist and turn around little country lanes in a delightful part of the World. It’s a relaxed start from Kirk Deighton, but as we head towards The Yorkshire Dales, we do encounter a few lumps in the gradual uphill profile towards the mid-point feed at Fewston.
It’s not mountainous, but at nearly 1,000m climbing over 73km, it’s not a flat route. There is a little sting after the feed to the highest point of the ride up Bland Hill, rewarded by the lovely descent with some tasty curves around Norwood Edge Plantation.
We enjoy a lovely bit of riding around the water of Lindley reservoir before climbing up to the infamous Alnscliffe Crag.
From there it’s downhill all the way back to Kirk Deighton, where an awesome new medal awaits!
