We have fantastic new routes with new challenges with the same support as in previous years.

This year the short route will get the chance to see the famous white horse bank and try new hills, so it may be shorter  but it is more challenging and very achievable. 

The medium route takes you through the beautiful villages of North Yorkshire, past famous Landmarks like Byland Abbey,Crayke castle, Ampleforth and the White Horse with chance to ride some new hills and take in new views.

The long route covers a lot of North Yorkshire and takes in some of the most amazing views and picturesque villages be prepared to stop above Othsmotherly and soak up the view, its a  fantastic photo opportunity.
