I need to check out the route for the Tan Hill proper (19th August) and wondered if anyone would like to join me for a ride in the Dales?
All welcome but my hope is that we can get a steady group who all ride together with stops as necessary - just like we did on the hostelling trip.
My suggestion is meet up in York say 9am and drive out to Masham. I can offer to take a couple of bikes + riders.
From there we take a route based roughly on the hostelling trip before heading to the hills and taking on Buttertubs and Tan Hill itself
Then a nice freewheel down before heading over Leyburn moor and probably as direct a route as possible back to Masham
c 110km with approx 1800m of climbing - no pressure on time - back to York late afternoon?
I think it should prove to be a great day out
If you are interested please either reply here - drop me a line or tel 01904 621550
