Notes
A longer and hillier ride for those wanting something and somewhere a bit different. The route takes us via the reservoirs into the villages to the west of Harrogate, before going to Knaresborough via Ripley. Return through familiar territory via Kirkby Overblow/Weeton and Otley. The map suggests return ride via Farnley, but we can decide on a flatter return on the day.
Safety, pace, and ride notes
Steady no drop ride. Planning to take it easy so plan it to be an away day ride. Two coffee stops envisaged. Good training ride for anyone doing the JCW!
Kit, preparation, and weather
No rain is forecast…..yet! Temp around 11 degrees so suggest layers. Bring card/cash for refreshments.
