  • If you go through Yorkshire try following most of the route of the Etape Du Dales. Looks like your planned Yorkshire route already covers some of it.

    Also, you might as well just catch a train to Skipton and go North from there (unless you are going to Wales). There is nothing to see in the South.

    To be really honest, there are more beautiful parts of Wales. If I were you I would ride up over the Beacons and then via Rhayader > Elan Valley > take the Aberystwyth road at the top of the Elan Valley. That would really be the most stunning ride - the loop around the Elan Valley is one of my favourite routes anywhere in the world.

    I know you're a really strong rider, but I've ridden extensively in Wales (my Mum has a house there and half my family is from there) - it is really tough. 100k there is like a very hard 170k in Surrey/Kent.

    This and this.

    Etape du Dales really is the best Yorkshire has to give. Maybe miss out the Coal Road, would not like to tackle that fully loaded.
