The Yorkshire Struggle.

This was the Tour de Yorkshire Sportive ride on Sunday. I chose to do the medium distance of 85km (it sounds more than just over 50 miles!). It's the longest 85km I've ever done. I just had a yearning for a flat piece of tarmac - not one going sharply uphill! Well, I did get round - eventually - but not in a state of physical (and mental) comfort. Still, I may have another go next year, but will have to do a bit more hill training for a more serene experience rather than a sweat and a gasp. Nice views, though!!
