Fantastic to see 10 riders out last night - last minute WRC preparation I guess. Fortunately the rain had just about stopped by 7:30pm (started 10:30pm Monday night), but the roads were still quite wet. The ride was a brisk 31 miles round Skyreholme, Hartlington and back via Burnsall. I worked myself pretty hard especially from Burnsall back to Beamsley. Then came the inevitable shout of "Langbar anyone". This time the call was answered, so 6 out of 10 of us set off upwards. I found the steep ramp very difficult. My legs were screaming after setting the pace on the front since Burnsall, but once that section was over and I got onto the final part of the climb I seemed to jump very quickly ahead of the final 3 (2 were already over the top).
Stats: 31 miles, ride time 2hr 00, avg 15.3mph, ascent 3700 feet
