The Big One (Part 1)

We set off in the pouring rain, thankfully this wasn't to be the weather for the entire weekend.
Stats for the weekend:-
9.5 hours of cycling,
11.2 average speed,
48.3 top speed (Phil) - Gary did 50?
109 miles covered,



Roger Cooper Fat Rascal Yorkshire Stunt Display team group shot - having just passed Menwith Hill. From left to right:- Steve, Gary, Greg, Phil, Claire, Ian and Ann-Marie.

Gary - only smiling because the hail storm had just finished. I think we were all glad we had helmets!

Greg and Ann-Marie climbing out of Langstrothdale, this was the hardest part of the route.

A welcome sight - the top of Fleet Moss before the very fast descent down into Hawes - about 1000 feet in two miles.

End of the first day @ Hawes YHA.
