North East and Yorkshire Area Group Proudly Present...
THE SIX DALES
Hambleton Hills, North Yorkshire Moors
START: Sutton Bank Visitor Center
TIME:09:30 for a 10:00 start
DISTANCE: 24 Miles
TERRAIN: Mixed Single and Doubletrack, open moorland, technical wooded singletrack, quiet country lanes. 95% offroad.
DIFFICULTY RATING: 4/5
The penultimate big ride of the year and a tough one to boot. Taking in classic singletrack and drove roads, we will visit six of the lesser visited dales of the NY Moors. Historical interest, huge vistas, woodland trails, killer climbs and high speed descents will be the order of the day. Expect mud and changeable weather so come dressed to suit. Everyone welcome on old and new bikes. This will be a big day in the saddle and will take around six hours to complete. Tough but highly rewarding.
How to get there
The Sutton Bank National Park Center is six miles (9.5km) east of Thirsk (or 7.5 miles (12km) west of Helmsley) at the top of Sutton Bank on the A170. Postcode is YO7 2EH
There will be a tea shop for refreshments at 1/3 distance and a pub at 2/3 distance. Sutton Bank Visitor center is open until 4pm for teas at the finish.
