Saturday July 18th: Off-road ride
Route description: Starting from the Sutton Bank National Park Centre, we head off into the North Yorkshire Moors via the local valleys. Another route with stunning views and great trails. This is an exciting route with much to offer – long, exposed bridleways, lovely grin inducing descents into deep valleys followed by rideable, hardpacked climbs out up the other side – go on you know you’ll love it!
Route options available at this venue:
Short - 15 miles
Medium - 25 miles
Long - 30 miles
Sunday July 19th: Sportive road ride
Route description: The same stunning views as the Off road route serve as a backdrop for these routes. As we’re on roads and able to go further, we venture much deeper into the Moors. Lots of climbing and descending in isolated countryside and the fun that it brings!! There’s one or two hills about this area and so we’ll be bringing the length of rides down to compensate!
Route options available at this venue:
Fun – 12 miles
Short – 30 miles
Medium – 60 miles
Long – 90 miles
IMPORTANT NOTE: Route options and lengths are subject to change. Final routes will differ to the provisional routes due to road closures, trail & road conditions and weather conditions. Provisional routes are not suitable for navigation purposes, map of confirmed route will be provided to all riders on the day.
