Thanks for the reply Tejvan – I’ll try and join up the villages you mention using quiet roads… at the very least you mentioning the villages/roads that are worth visiting is a great start when you have zero knowledge of the area.

Hi Rob. I’m afraid I don’t have it saved as GPX, but it’s relatively straight forward from Ilkley, might try make a map.

Yes. Always carry a chain tool!

Hey Tejvan,

Just today in work I was chatting to some colleagues and said that I’d love to try some of the Yorkshire bits of the 2014 Tour start, but was aware that a lot of it would be on unappealing A-roads. Being a southerner I don’t know any of these areas at all, but was hoping to get to the area sometime this year or early next year for a few days to do some riding.

You don’t happen to have this route saved as a GPX do you?

As for cyclists stopping to help, it’s one of the things that I enjoy about cycling. If I see someone stopped I will always ask if they have everything they need…. funnily enough I find my chain tool most often comes in handy as not many people carry one!
