York to beningbrough hall estate.


Date:: 23/2/2014

Location:: York racecourse (Knavesmire rd) YO23 1EX

Time:: 10:00 for 10:30 start.

Distance:: 22 miles (flat)

Terrain:: tarmac cycle paths and very quiet country lanes.

Difficulty:: 2/5

Parking is free here, if we cannot all get in there is alternative parking, also free a short distance away. I can deal with that on the day.


This ride is arguably the easiest on the calendar for 2014 and takes advantage of york city' dedicated cycleway that is a green highway across the city.





As we meet at the racecourse we are almost immediately in-loop with the track and follow the river ouse towards the city centre. York has many bridges, historic monuments and architectural wonders to muse at. We cross three of the bridges including the millenium bridge as we progress towards greener pastures and relative peace.


An italian palace in Yorkshire!





Beningbrough hall is a vast estate with working farm and visitor attractions. This is our terminus for the ride and an opportunity to relax and take in refreshments.

A lunch stop is planned that can be picked up either 40% in or 60% on return leg for food and hot drinks. The pub is the 'sidings' novelty railway attraction and in a great location.

Water proof clothing is advisable as the weather is unpredictable lately.

NO HELMET= NO RIDE.

Hi ken, turn up on whatever rolls forward, a unicycle would be ok for this ride :)

From the A64 come off at monks cross and follow signs for the retail park, there is a mc donalds in there. asda side, not sainsbury's side.
Also i can guide us to the mcd's in york centre, not too far off the beaten track but too early for a stop, on the way back though....

Also, i'm hoping the flooded areas do not get any more flooded, the track is away from the river and passable come what may, i will keep an eye on the situation.
