Starting point

YO31 7UZ

Cycle Street, Layerthorpe, York

Following on from earlier rides, this ride is part of our training for the York 100 bike ride on 17th August, but anyone interested is welcome to join us, we're a friendly bunch! See here if you haven't yet entered, there are 3 options: 40, 67,100 miles and you can get 25% off entry using the code CLUB25: http://bit.ly/1c7d7HO Due to time constraints this is a shorter ride than initially suggested. We'll meet at Cyclestreet bike shop and head out east of York along the roads around Sand Hutton & Buttercrambe. We're aiming for around 20 miles with a cafe stop at the newly refurbished Balloon Tree Farm Shop on the A166 near Gate Helmsley. Here's a link to a route map: http://goo.gl/maps/9Lech Rolling pace will be around 14mph, but no-one gets left on a Breeze ride. Give me a call for a chat if you're interested. We return to Cyclestreet, where Jon and his team are happy to assist with any questions about bike maintenance.  If you are new to cycling and this distance seems a challenge, please look for shorter and slower paced rides for your first journey with us, and you'll soon build the stamina to join the longer rides like this one. Or give me a call for a chat. If you have a road bike, that would be best, as a mountain bike is heavier, making this type of ride much harder work. However, if you have any queries please email [email protected] or give me a call on 07710718011 and I'll be happy to have a chat. Look forward to seeing you. Nicky
