Easingwold - into the hills

A route up into Crayke and on to Brandsby before taking a lovely quiet road out towards Terrington. We turn up the hill in Whenby for a cheeky climb, but well worth it for the views from the road at the top. Back to Easingwold via Yearsley and the bank. This is quite a challenging ride as it has a couple of climbs, the first into Crayke village, steady up to Brandsby, then along to Whenby. Get into your lowest gears for the 2 part climb up through Skewsby and onto the top road. The views from here are fantastic in all directions and it is one of my favourite routes. Another big descent from Yearsley village and then back home with a big pat on the back! Please note the earlier start time of 5.30 to give us plenty of time to complete the ride.
