Acaster Countryside Training Ride

Happy New Year! From your feedback it sounds like we are all setting ourselves challenging 2014 fitness targets, so I thought it would be worth putting on a series of faster rides. This ride will take us on a 5 mile warm up out of the city along Cycle Route 65 which takes us along the river and cuts across the Knavesmire before joining a section of York's Orbital Cycle Path. From here, we'll pick up the pace along a picturesque loop on quiet country lanes taking in Bishopthorpe Palace and the villages of Acaster Malbis and Appleton Roebuck before re-joining the Cycle Route which will bring us back to our starting point. This ride will be at an average speed of 13mph, and is more suited for road bikes or fast hybrids. If you have any questions at all, please feel free to contact me at [email protected] or on 01904 622868. In the meantime, happy riding!
