Re: Howardian Hills Highlights -Sunday 22nd May 10.30am

Hi Andy,

You should be fine on a cross bike. My guess is about 25 miles, 3-4 hours riding time.

Starting out around the Castle Howard area, then progressing out to Yearsley via Hovingham and Cawton. Returning back via Scackleton and a spot of lunch at Terrington to then finish with an final hour ...

Meet at 10.30am at the Coneysthorpe parking area opposite the lake at Castle Howard.

Please do post here if you're ...

Re: Weekend rides - day preference?

Thanks Dave, Steve and Chris for the feedback.

Good to know Wednesday rides still going well, even with fewer riders than previously.
May join you for the September Lakes trip, just need to check my schedule.

Chris - congratulations and all the best for the wedding.

Weekend rides - day preference?

Hi all,

Just thought I'd ask whether there was any preference on which day (Saturday or Sunday) would be best for everyone.

Thinking Saturday may be preferable as not too many riders on the last two Sunday rides?

Regards,

Re: Sunday's Club Ride - Goathland Loop

Hi Ros, glad you can make it.

Fair point on the weather, but surely it won't be too different from the glorious sunshine currently blessing us right now :D

Just about to give my bike the once over myself.

I've decided on this occasion for us to ride the familiar Goathland route that starts from Hole of Horcum going out to Goathland and returning via Flyingdales.

Sunday Club Ride 31st May the Nidderdale Reservoirs Ride

Dear All,

The MTB Captain role became vacant recently and I decided it was time to take up the challenge and try and give back to the club that has been good to me over the last 7+ years.

Starting with Sunday club rides I've decided we should have as many as possible, but at least one a month. To ...
