Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
Taking on this challenge with my Cedar Court Court colleagues - Over 100miles touring all 4 hotels over two days. The 'Grande Tour of the Four'
Day 1 – After being suitably fuelled the
Grande depart is from CC Harrogate. We head out slightly east, with relatively
flat terrain to get us warmed up. The roads continue to pleasantly roll through
Wetherby and Boston Spa to the west of Tadcaster. After a café stop (exact
location TBC) we head towards South West Leeds and CC Wakefield, we will be
experiencing some more robust (busy) A roads by that point. Getting our heads
down for a much-needed refreshment and comfort stop at CC Wakefield at around
43 miles. Then onwards, though mill towns of Dewsbury and Mirfield. With a 5-mile
climbing treat for the end of a day to get us to Ainley top and CC Huddersfield.
Welcome beverage guaranteed and accommodation and carbs a plenty for those that
need it.
Day 2 – Starting from CC Huddersfield, we
pretty much descend (3 miles) what we climbed the day prior. A rude awakening
if it’s a chilly start. By bike it can be as little as 9 miles to CC Bradford,
but it is pretty much all up hill, winding through Brighouse, to the west of
Wyke, dropping into CC Bradford past Odsal. Refreshment and substance will
await. After we head west to Bingley, in case you were wondering, that is also
up hill, then steep descending into the valley in/around Ilkley. The final 15
miles taking us back to Harrogate on the less busy road past Fewston, finishing
with part of the 2019 UCI world circuit for good measure. There will also be a
café stop between Barford and Harrogate, exact location TBC
