    It's been a while since I last did the Kirkby Lonsdale to Skipton run, but I am very disappointed by all these SLOW rumble strips they put in the road and quite a few are actually on bends. But it's not just there, they seem to be all over the place. There is one particular set not far from me that I consider dangerous (Givover you might remember that set) and a yet another that has been put in right in the middle of my favourite bend. I feel the need for a letter coming on.

    I did that run two weekends ago mate, but I come off the main at Settle now and come the back roads via Ayrton, Rylstone and down the B6265 to Skipton. No jams or solid white lines to get stuck, and much less policed, just the occasional cyclist, rambler or sheep.

    Put a pic of the road on here,

    There is a set on the whitby to guisborough road just before you crest a left band bend, to put them on a corner is just dangerous
