Today's ride took us through a slightly different area than usual but it was just as hilly. Our first climb was the long drag up Oakley Bank from Ruswarp as far as the turn of for Littlebeck where we began the descent into what I think is probably the most picturesque villages in the area. We were then faced with Lousy Hill which involves a climb of 480 ft in just over .8 of a mile to Redgates. From there we made our way to Raw & Fylingthorpe before returning home via the cinder track.
I now have only 63.5 miles to reach my target for the year.
