The Ride-Out on Sunday 20th October is a gentle romp around various grades of road up to and around Hawes. Starting at the Dragon Road Lorry Park next to ASDA in Harrogate (HG5 1DE).

Meet at 9.30am for 9.45ish departure.

There is no Sat Nav route for this ride but there are three places you may wish to plot. The Town End Farm Shop in Airton (BD23 4BE) for a morning coffee stop.  Hawes for lunch and fuel (DL83RD). Ripley to finish the ride and for an ice cream (HG3 3AX). 

The route between all is interesting and in some places there are the open and bendy bits you all enjoy. There are even some narrow twisty bits for those who like that sort of thing. The route is not too long at around 120 miles so no need to rush lunch at Hawes. (Fuel is available there at 70 miles).

I hope you are able to join Andrew Pratt and me on the day, with chips, ice cream and winding roads what more do you need?
