I've been hoping to ride the Mary Towneley Loop this year. The initial plan was to do it in April but lockdown got in the way. The weather is looking good for Sunday so it's back on.
It's a 47 mile, mainly off road ride in the Pennines with 6,500 feet of climbing and whilst it's not very technical I'm sure it will be a tough challenge. I've decided that the ideal tool for the job is my 2004 vintage Whyte JW4, for several reasons. It's light in weight, it has a non standard 3X10 transmission hence a wide range of ratios, it doesn't bob when you pedal due to it's unique linkage front suspension and virtual pivot point rear.
What can possibly go wrong?
