Ossett to Scarborough

Back in June, Alex mentioned he fancied riding to the coast. He's not a cyclist and the furthest he's been before is from his house to Leeds - about 10 miles. (I'm not sure if he rode back; I assume so, which means a max of 20 miles in a day) Anyway, I said I'd go with him and suggested the first week in August as I'm off work and, as a teacher, he has nothing to do in August anyway.

Given Alex's lack of experience and the fact that we'll be returning on the train, I thought I'd break out the folder again. Its about 80 miles from Ossett to Scarborough - mainly flat, although there's a bit of a hill as you approach the coast. Having never ridden that far before, Alex is a bit nervous about it. Well, anyone would but he'll be fine.

More tomorrow after we've completed it - along with some pics. Weather looking a bit iffy, so will have to take my coat - so I don't get cold, you know my views on wearing waterproofs!
