Bike Racing

[Graham Breeze]

I use all my rings. I've paid for them so I am going to get my money's worth.

So today I did 50 miles (3500 feet) through Hellifield - Settle - Airton - Gargrave - Bolton Bridge - Ilkley. All the high fell routes between Settle/Helwith Bridge and Grassington/Halton Gill are steep and glorious and the isolation makes one glad to be alive. The ride from Halton Gill on the south east side of Pen y Ghent to Stainforth is my favourite and is better than the Grand Canyon - no tourists, no helicopters just lots of sheep!
