What started at 7am from home in Leeds, ended 85 miles, one 'slow motion' fall, a torrential downpour and a sore behind later. Arriving in Filey (near Bridlington, on the east coast), the four of us all fancied doing the extra 15 miles to bring up the ton but opted for amazing Fish and Chips in a clifftop car park. Picture on the left is David & John pre-cup of coffee after a rain-soaked finish.
This was the Great Yorkshire Bike Ride; a ride 
through the fantastic Yorkshire countryside along with 1500 participants, some doing it for fun, others for charity and a few (us) for training. Apart from a couple of tough climbs we set a decent pace, much faster than we'll be doing on the End to End, and felt pretty fit after - no aching limbs the day after either! So, without getting too cocky, we're all feeling more confident that we'll actually be able to make it out of Cornwall!
