This 20 mile road ride starts in the village of Wass, passing through Coxwold before ascending one of the climbs that forms part of the 60 mile Yorkshire Lass Annual Charity Sportive route which takes place in August. Lovely views from the top. The route then takes us to Husthwaite and on to Coxwold and towards Kilburn, home of the “Mouseman” visitor centre, café and shop, where we will stop for refreshment. From Kilburn we pick up the sportive route again to pass under the White Horse and continue on to Oldstead. Once through Oldstead we have a nice descent towards the ruins of Byland Abbey before a flat ride back to Wass. This is not going to be a fast ride and we will have plenty of time to take in the lovely views.
