| Route Length: | 41 miles |
| Climbing: | 3200ft / 975m |
| Route Description: | An undulating ride in the Yorkshire Dales taking in Littondale and Malham Tarn with one challenging climb (but do-able and worth the effort) from Halton Gill up to great views of Pen-Y-Ghent. In addition to the climb out of Littondale there are a few short steep ramps, with most of the climbing before lunch in Malham. Note that this Awayday has been changed to start at Grassington (originally Malham) due to roadworks, but will follow the same route (not necessarily in the right order). |
