Good Friday

We had a nice gentle ride this morning, down to Cavendish and back.

The weather is turning wintry again as some strong Northerly winds are bringing in sleet and snow over the next few days.

Our long ride is still planned for tomorrow, but it's going to be tough. We are planning on heading mainly north along the Wharfe and then over Fleet Moss to Hawes. As well as climbing to 565m asl, we will be heading into a 20mph wind bringing sleet with it. It shall be an experience.

I have just received some (encouraging?) texts from El Cid:

"Ready for action men! I have a plan for us to take on and master the headwind. Tomorrow, we ride!"

"Eat, service your woman and sleep. For the trials which await us promise hardship and danger. We must be ready"

"Bade farewell to the kinder"
