Here's the proposed route courtesy, as always, of Kevin.

Cafe stop at Thorton le Dale @ approx. 50 miles.

Looks good - not sure about the stats though - it reckons route time of 8 hrs 22mins. If we add 40 mins for stops & lunch (at least!) we get 9 hours which puts us back in York by 19:20 ish

I can't be out much after 5:30 - 6pm so I'm hoping the timing stat is a bit awry - I'd guess the rate of climb figure isn't correct as the rate we cycle on the flat probably isn't far removed from 30 kph (18.64mph) average.

Best not loiter nattering in the square for too long - get started by 10:15 say.

Or I could just quit whining and go with the intermediate group.......

I didn't bother entering figures for either rate of climb or speed. So ignore its estimated results on this. I just used it for route marking purposes. I anticipate that we'll average approx 17mph. so if we allow 1.5hrs for cafe that gives a back in York time of approx. 17:30
