Two club members completed Lejog over ten days on Two club members completed Lejog over ten days on an organised tour. They averaged 100 miles a day and certainly didn't take 'the easy route'. They tackled the Lecht climb in the Cairngorms, which was ' the toughest I have done', that's saying something coming from a Yorkshire grimpeur. Chapeau chaps!

Nothing if not varied. Industrial architecture of the Colne Valley, Silkstone disguised as the South of France, bloomin' hilly Stainland or a flat 100 miler to York and back. Take your pick!

Anyway, a swarm of us set off from Holmfirth in beautiful weather. 3 groups out, B-Short, B-Long and C-Short. Our fastest Wednesday riders are away doing Lejog. Some swapping of groups went on climbing Acre Lane. B-Long bumped into preparations for the RHS flowers how at Wentworth Woodhouse. C-Short enjoyed the stunning Strines Valley and B-Short went to the ever dependable Hilarys at Cawthorne.

Also, if you spend enough time faffing with mechanicals, then the sun will always come out. #cyclingfacts

Wednesday saw the usual selection of groups riding Wednesday saw the usual selection of groups riding out from Holmfirth plus our once monthly Away Day for those who have the time and inclination to venture a little further afield. Starting from a car park close to the Sett Trail in Hayfield they rode a large loop around Buxton. Everyone enjoyed the blue skies and summer weather.

This weekend saw a large group of members travel u This weekend saw a large group of members travel up to Dent on the western edge of the Yorkshire Dales, for one of our informal camping trips. Dent's actually in Cumbria but we soon disabused the locals of that bureaucratic alternative fact. The weather was mixed, but then it was equally mixed for those riding from Holmfirth yesterday; some dodged the downpour, others weren't so lucky. For our happy campers there was always the comfort of the local pub to look forward to .. . or the roof of a car.

Reasonable weather on Wednesday meant several grou Reasonable weather on Wednesday meant several groups set off from the Holmfirth Coop car park at 0900. The forecast for this coming weekend still doesn't seem to have made up its mind but we're hopeful since many members will be heading off to Dent for one of our annual camping weekends. As a reminder, the club is also currently hosting its summer Mouse Time Trial series and the next event will be on 12 June. Sign-on is at Moose Storage from 7pm with first rider off at 7:30pm.
