Heads up about cycling in Yorkshire! Okay, I don\’t know whether that map is of Yorkshire or somewhere else, but cyclists from there have some things to tell the rest of us.

Climb a \”chimney\”? I think I\’ll skip that 33 percent grade. Besides, I\’m not Santa Claus.

The cafe stop? Yorkshire pudding sounds interesting. I\’ll bet it would be great with maple syrup! Or how about melted cheese and fresh chives?

Tea beats out coffee? If you mean green tea, I agree. Drop a green tea bag in a pint jar full of water; put on the lid; and let sit in the fridge overnight.

The expression \”chain gangs\”, for me, conjures up images of convict labor. It\’s refreshing to find chain gangs that are people who ride bicycles. I guess they mean that they\’re \”chained\” to those bikes!

Riding up a lot of short, steep climbs would harden your muscles, I\’ve no doubt. I think it might do me a lot of good as a cyclist if I could tackle such rides more often.

It isn\’t raining all the time in Yorkshire? Hooray!! But I\’d take along a poncho, just in case.

The item about Yorkshire having/not having a Tour puzzles me. It seems to contradict itself. Can anybody figure it out?

A hill that isn\’t a hill?? I guess even I could manage that!

As to whether Yorkshire is \”sexy\”, I\’ll let the individual judge. My opinion might not agree with the next person\’s. Actually, when I\’m out for a ride, I don\’t think about such things. I just ride.
