Meet at 6.45pm to be biking by 7pm at Hovingham
Parking is road side on Park Street, opposite the Worsley Arms
This is a new route for me, so I must remember my map!
It will be about 25km long of typical Howardian bridle ways.
So suitable for all, even Willhub now the roadies have kicked him out
Post if you are joining us.

That's an interesting new route. How was it?
That area spells only 1 thing this time of year when it's been raining lots - NETTLES! Did you find a route that avoids them?

The trails were all quite open so nettles were no problem. Except for the fields after Butterwick, which must get zero traffic, so they were a bit of a jungle! Another time I would use the road from Eastness to Slinglsby and miss out the Butterwick section, adding more of the Centurian Way in after.
