Description

The problem with trying to put together a high-quality rough-stuff ride starting in York is that the immediate surrounding area is very flat. This means that many of the local tracks are not well drained and are therefore tedious to ride or even walk along. I therefore wanted to get well away from York on the ride, and felt that the North York Moors would provide much more interesting riding. This is certainly the case.but the problem is obviously bridging the gap between there and York. Much of the intervening distance was done on tarmac: we are not talking about 75 miles of rough-stuff here!
