Very few cyclists or people about until I got to Chapel and Whaley when the roads were busy with cars and people. I found this a bit odd but perhaps it was because this was the first time I have been into a town or highly populated area for over 3 weeks.

Plan to keep to the sticks from now on!
Reading this I thought I ought to up my game - even though I doubt if Llani Boy has a bus pass yet - so Ilkley/Gisburn/Blacko/Colne/Ilkley:50.1 miles, 3700ft, max pulse 152, max speed 37mph, max gradient hors de categorie, gels 2 and a happy Garmin Edge 520 Plus. It just wants to be useful.

But why does the wind blow so hard in Lancashire?
