Starting point

HU15 1QE

The car park of the Triton Inn, Ellerker Road, Brantingham, HU15 1QE

We'd like to celebrate the fact that three of the Brantingham Breezers have the Ride Leader level 2 qualification, so that we can now lead rides of 51 - 100(!) miles. We'll start by going to Beverley with a stop at Café Velo and then go along the National Cycle network through Cherry Burton, Etton, S Dalton and Bracken before turning off to Wolds Village at Bainton for lunch. But bring sarnies, if you prefer to do that. We can decide at lunchtime whether to go to Huggate via North Dalton or Tibthorpe. The Tibthorpe route is about 3 miles further, but quieter and prettier. After Huggate, we'll pedal down into Millington Pastures, a really special part of the route, then up into Millington. We can stop for tea there, at the Peace Café in Kilnwick Percy or in Market Weighton. In Nunburnholme, we can decide whether to go up The Hill (it's a hard one!) or to go the flatter route through Burnby. We'll come down the North Cliffe/South Cliffe route from Market Weighton to North and then South Cave and return to Brantingham via Ellerker. The North Cliffe/South Cliffe road can have a moderate amount of traffic on it, but it has the merit of being flat. The plan is to ride at a steady pace so that we can chat and enjoy the great scenery. Please bring: - clothes appropriate for whatever weather is forecast -a helmet is advisable, but not compulsory - money for coffee/tea/snacks/lunch - two bottles of whatever you like to drink on a long ride - small snacks e.g. energy bars, fig rolls, flapjacks or bananas for refuelling as necessary. - your own food if you prefer not to buy lunch -inner tube and basic tools for your bike -any medication you need I'll have a pannier so I can carry some things for you, if necessary - within reason. Please contact Shirley on 01482 666556 [email protected] with queries/preferences/thoughts.
