York Breeze Cycling

We cross Walmgate Stray and circuit the University onto Heslington main street. Then down to the Outgang, along the narrow grassy cart track (you are welcome to push your bike if you feel it is too rough) onto Elvington Road. Over the Derwent down beautiful country lanes to East Cottingworth and Pig in the Willow cafe. Return on a similar route back.

THE CAFE IS CASH ONLY, PLEASE REMEMBER TO BRING CASH WITH YOU

A very rural ride down the River Derwent

Cycle track and quiet country lanes, with a short section of cart track across 2 fields

Frequent stops for drinks and snacks, coffee & cake at the half way point

Please wear a helmet, bring 2 spare inner tubes and a pump that fits your tyres (!), drink, snack & cash/card for coffee

We never leave anyone behind, and this ride would be very suitable for beginners and improvers
