This week we could do a trip to Askham Richard with the usual cafe stop at the prison. Then coming back towards Wetherby on a slightly different route to normal on some back roads. Should be around the 30 miles mark – and pretty flat. Hopefully miss the rain.
Hello Medium Group. Thinking about a 100 miler flat route widely circling Knaresborough so many options for wimping out if too much for some next Sunday 29th July. 08:00 start from Knaresborough. If enough takers I will come up with a route.
This Sunday is a re run of last years Away Day, a circular ride from Settle that heads into the Trough of Bowland on some really quiet lanes for about 35 miles with about 750m. of climbing – which for those who are counting is quite a bit, but don’t let that put you off – its well worth it.
The arrangements are that we will meet in the Whitefriars Car Park in Settle at 10:00am. This is located just past the Square on the left hand side before the railway bridge and next to the petrol station & Co-Op (Postcode:BD24 9JD) and will cost £3.90 for all day. There are toilets located in the car park.
The cafe stop would be at the Old Vicarage, Tosside – and possibly again in Clapham or later in Austwick – see how it goes.
Hello Medium Group. Not sure who is about on Sunday. Wondering about heading out West up Wharfedale.
1) Bolton Abbey Via Langbar and back via Fewston. 55 miles hilly.
2) Otley Chevin. 45 miles hilly.
3) Bolton Abbey and back up & down the valley about 60 miles rolling.
Hi Medium-istes, For Sunday how about a circuit taking in Aldwark bridge, Tollerton, Huby, Crayke, Byland (brew), Oldstead, Kilburn, Carlton Husthwaite, Thornton Bridge, Bozza and home. I will try not use my “cross face” during the ride. Not sure how far it is but probably about 45-50 miles mostly flat, one or two lumps.
Out to Tadcaster via usual route – Spofforth, Kirby Overblow, Collingham and over the hill to Thorner and Brimham – back via Thorp Arch, Cattal, Wixley and Ouseburn.
That will get us back in plenty of time to see TdeF on the cobbles!
For all those doing the Ride Newcastle 2018 trip – probably best to meet at York train station for say 8:30 ish aiming to catch the 9:00 trains. If we aim to meet at or near Filmore & Union where the Knaresborough train terminates – that would be a start. Weather forecast looks great for the weekend – so it should be fun in the sun!
Anyone not doing the Newcastle trip but who want to ride on Sunday can meet at the car park as usual and decide on a route and a leader on the day.
Hello Medium group. What about a 50 mile ride to Thrusscross for Sunday?
