Starting point

YO25 5HZ

Driffield Leisure Centre

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 for a steady incline before we descend into a picturesque valley. This part of the route is 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. As we leave village behind us, we climb up to 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 refreshements if you wish to stop off at Speedy's Cafe in Driffield after the ride. Don't forget your water bottle and tools and inner tube should you be unfortunate to have any mechanical problems on the ride. We will be at the Leisure Centre from 9.30am on the day of the ride.
