Today was the Paria Paperboy sportive. 51.7 miles from Leeds, through to Harrogate and onto Otley and back through to Leeds. YRCC had over 20 people attending and seven of us met at 6am to cycle the 30 miles to Leeds before the event.

The weather and views were tremendous. Unfortunately, with good views come big hills and today had over 5,300 feet of elevation.

Another ride tomorrow meant that at the end of the ride, I cycled back to Leeds station – that was scary in itself! and got the train back to York. 88 miles in the bag today!
