| Some of the hills caught me out a little, but thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Quite a lot of friendly cyclists on route, willing to make suggestions to help me along the way. Slightly altered the route to start and finish in Skipton, parking was easy and cheap, with plenty of places to eat afterwards. | ||
