I did the Tour de Yorkshire sportive on Sunday and it was fantastic. The engineer for the Otley Chevin road must have been a sadist - it has a near constant grade of 10% on a 1.5km straight road.

Urr...even the thought of  the TdY sportive sends shivers down my spine. Did the first one a few years ago, and I'm still drying out! I suspect the weather was a tad better this year.

Personally, I went to Ilkley to see Stage 2 on friday (parked in Skipton, rode to Ilkley and back), rode up Cow and Calf, watched the womens race come in, couldn't be bothered to wait 5+ hours for the men, went home again.

Fit new wheels and cassette and tubeless tyres to best bike, then spent the next two hour ride fiddling with gears and realising I should have replaced the chain as well - very frustrating. Fit new chain after ride, shifts fine now!
