Sportive tackles Yorkshire TdF climbs & quiet lanes

skylarksportive

Apologies for the blatant plug. I'm helping to organise the Autumn Skylark Sportive in Yorkshire on 28 Sept and we still have lots of places available. The event has 2 options, 115km and 50km, and the former takes in several TdF Stage 2 climbs, including Cragg Vale and Holme Moss. In between it takes to a delightful network of minor roads the Tour ignored to produce a route which has very low traffic levels, lots of climbing (mostly not too severe), well-stocked feeds and finishes with a pie and peas supper in the event HQ, a lovely old golf club (where there are changing rooms and showers). Visit skylarksportive.com for full details - entry is £25. Phil the organiser
