Meet at Dragon Road Lorry Park, Harrogate next to ASDA with fuel available on site. 9.15 for a 9.30am start and return to Ripley at 4.30pm.
The social ride out on Sunday 18th February is approximately 136 miles starting at Dragon Road and heads off through Timble and Silsden for breakfast at Earby. Thereafter head into the Forest of Bowland and stop for lunch at Ingleton. Continue across the Dales skirting Hawes and along the top road through Askrigg and Redmire through Leyburn (fuel stop) for a final brew stop at Constable Burton. The final leg of the route takes us through Bedale, Kirkby Malzeard and finishes at Ripley Car Park at about 4.30pm. Details of the stops are on the map picture for your reference.
Not sure what the weather will have to offer but the scenery will be a joy. If anyone wants a GPX copy of the route, please e-mail me, Derek Saunders, on ds55dcs@outlook.com
Usual caveat with the weather, if it’s grim and I decide to cancel I will post it on FB and on the HAB website before 8am on the Sunday morning so be sure to check before leaving home.
