bells and bikes

One more sleep until the 2019 UCI Cycling World Championships

Time for a bit more of this I think…

Bearable 😉

Fantastic footage from @Velo_Leitholm on Twitter.

Halifax Minster bells ring for the Tour de Yorkshire.

This is not an official announcement or a leak. However, if and when La Vuelta a Espana comes to Yorkshire, this is what it could like (plus bikes and knitted bunting).

Here we see the world record breaking 2000 Denby Dale Pie on the back of a massive articulated lorry, being followed by a crowd of thousands and “The Sheffield Giants”. The Giants are typical of Spanish festivals.

Stage 4, The Yorkshire Terrier, is a roller coaster of a ride, starting with a beast out of Halifax. A beast by my standards, but not even registering on the richter scale of hills for pro riders. What a pleasure to meet Andrew Sykes today, three time author of Cycling Europe books. Nice pint later on after ringing for the race. Tough push up Oxenhope Moor though!
