The first big event of the year! York Classic Sportive
An opportunity for some spring biking miles presented itself to two of our triathletes and 76miles of rolling hills (some not rolling at all and quite steep) was a temptation Huw Lloyd and Jon Mortimer couldn’t resist.
An early start down in York from the auction house and a prompt at 8am start for Huw and Jon as they set off with similar cycling enthusiasts to tackle some blustery conditions.
A beautiful course, lovely scenery especially when tipping the North York moors. The weather in the main was kind apart from a strong return headwind and one or two isolated showers. Friendly volunteers and staff at all check points and a very well marked course made for a thoroughly enjoyable ride.
Our two dedicated triathletes returned safe and well finishing strongly within the top 20% of finishers.
