Hope your well soon Steve. It could have been a lot worse.

Thanks Paul. I know, I could have damaged my bike :wink:


That route looks like a good one for next week, thanks Mike.

Last week's incident was nothing major, but I ended up leaving the road to avoid an oncoming car on a narrow bend. I ...

8.45 Ride_Saturday 21st September

Hi all,
it's likely I won't be out this week, owing to sore ribs from last week's accident.

As the summer is coming to an end it seems a timely moment to emphasise that this is primarily a social ride, with just 2 simple golden rules:
1) Stick together (regroup on hills & check everyone is on at ...

Hi Sam. Thanks for getting in touch.
Yes, I'd recommend starting off with a 10.00 o'clock ride.
I'm not sure what pace the easy riders group go at the moment, but I'm sure if you turn up and talk to Dave or Kevin, they'll be able to advise on an appropriate group to start with.

You should then ...

Hi all,
a bit of a change to the flat loop last week.

Haxby- Pottery Lane- Sutton otF- Huby- Crayke- Coxwold- Wass Bank- Ampleforth (via ...

Hi Joe,
the 2 different paced groups have tended to depend on who turns up on the day, and overall numbers.

Allan was leading the steady group, but unfortunately hasn't been able to make it out for a few weeks.

If any one else is planning to do a steady ride, it would be useful if they posted on ...

8.45 ride, Saturday 24th

Hi all,
as promised here is the suggested route for Saturday.

I'm afraid I won't be out as I'm off to Morecambe tomorrow for a leisurely coast to coast :)

Current forecast is warm, light breeze, possible light showers (don't blame me if it snows).

It's a 50 mile classic:

Stockton- Upper Helmsley ...

Saturday 17th, 8.45 ride

Although no one has come forward with a suggested route, I imagine the usual numbers will be turning out for the 8.45 ride.

There are enough well known 50 mile routes amongst the regular riders now. So an impromptu decision in the square looks in order.

Check back on the previously posted routes ...
