Calendar Archive

Ride Calendar Archive

This is a record of all rides starting from January 2024. In the past we have simply removed rides from the ride calendar once they have happened and so had no record of which rides used what routes and when.

Why have an archive?

Mainly so that ride leaders can check to see if the route they are considering has already been ridden within the past few months. If it has, we encourage them to consider a different one so we can keep the rides as varied as possible. Also the archive may well be of general interest to members and others visiting our site.

And now for something completely different – not Python’s man with three buttocks, but a couple of old men with wooden legs, and an even older man with horns.  On his head.  A bit of history for you.

Route Showground, Follifoot, Lt. Ribston, Walshford, A59 for half a mile (care) Allerton Mauleverer, Whixley, Ouseburns, Dunsforths, Aldborough, Boroughbridge. (Cafe at 25mi / 500ft climbed). Then Minskip, Staveley, Occaney, Scriven, Knaresborough Hill, Gardeners’ Arms and home before dark (43mi/68km, climb 1815ft/553m).

Part of the ride is over farm roads, bridleways, tracks, a grass field and a bit of woodland, and a very short section is best walked.  Skinny tyres best avoided but 28s are fine.  And the forecast is good so no mud (!)
