The club ride this Sunday will be a route starting at Chop Gate car park (12 miles north of Helmsley on the B1257), where there are toilets. Bring change for parking. Meet at 10am, for a start no later than 1015. Grid ref SE 559993.
It will be a mixture of double track and singletrack, with very little roads. There's plenty of variation to keep most people interested !
The route will be east onto the Moors to Tripsdale, down to Cockayne, up to Bloworth Crossing, north onto the Cleveland Way, then back to Round Hill via Ingleby Moor. We'll then drop down to the road, and subject to time and group wishes, onto Hasty Bank and Cold Moor, for the final fun descent to the cars.
Total distance around 25 miles, total ascent 1300 metres - suitable for all. There are short cuts back to the cars for those feeling less energetic. (If anyone wants to lead a steadier group, let me know and I'll send suggested route / shortcut details).
The Buck Inn pub at Chop Gate is handy for food / drinks afterwards.
Please post if you're coming !
