DRIFFIELD FOUR SEASONS BREEZERS - Sledmere

This is an ideal ride for those of you who have taken part on a few BREEZE rides and would like a slightly more challenging route. From the Leisure Centre, we will head out of Driffield via Spellowgate and then have a steady incline for a couple of miles before we descend into a picturesque valley for a gentle cycle along the peaceful countryside, where we can observe wildlife along the way. The challenge begins after a low gear is selected for a hard, but worthwhile, climb up towards Cowlam. We will all gather at the top of the hill where we can then look forward to a downhill ride into Sledmere, taking in the wonderful architecture as we make straight for the Hall's cafeteria and welcome refreshments. As we leave the village behind us, we climb up to the Sledmere Momument and descend with a panoramic view of East Yorkshire in front of us all the way to Garton. With the famous Norman Church on our right we only have a couple of miles to cycle back to Driffield and up to the Leisure Centre. Please remember to check the weather forecast the night before and wear suitable clothing for the ride. It is always advisable to wear a helmet. Please also bring some money for the cafeteria and shop. I will be at the Leisure Centre from 9.45am on the day of the ride and it will take place unless the weather is too severe.
