Sunday’s weather forecast is great.
So how about if we meet at Hole of Horcum car park at 10:00am?
During 5 minutes in the car park with an OS map spread on the bonnet, we could decide the best route from either of these or your own ideas:
#Fast group to Goathland (eat in a café at Goathland- similar route to Feb 2011, but drier):
http://bikeroutetoaster.com/Course.aspx?course=556131 30+ miles.
(When viewing these routes, click “cycle”mode and ignore the distance- it’s very understated because of the straight lines drawn quickly).
# OR Fast group through Cropton forest and Dalby red route (eat at Horseshoe Inn at Levisham- same route as May 2012):
http://bikeroutetoaster.com/Course.aspx?course=556161 28 miles.
# Steady group through Langdale forest (eat at The Moorcock Inn):
http://bikeroutetoaster.com/Course.aspx?course=556157 20 miles and 3-3.5 hrs in duration.
# OR Steady group through Langdale and Dalby forest (eat at Horseshoe Inn at Levisham)- same route as Steve W gave last May.
A map will be given to whoever likes to do a little simple orienteering and have the Steady group follow them (i.e. informally lead the group).
Perhaps some of the proper MTB'ers can tweak these routes for the better.
That way, those attending can create the ride they want (longer? more technical? more woodland? moorland etc.).
See you on Sunday.
