Safety, pace, and ride notes
First key stops are the public toilets and co-op in Masham 33 miles. (WC at Brimham Rocks 18 miles if needed). Next shop available in Pateley Bridge petrol station with WC near the river 51 miles.
Possible Cafe stop at Studfold Farm (near Lofthouse) 44 miles or at Stumps Cross 56 miles.
I don't think it advisable to spend much time off the bike just before the Greenhow climb.
