Introducing North York Moors and Yorkshire Wolds by Tony Waltham. 🏞 With the help of numerous maps, diagrams and photographs, geologist Tony Waltham tells the fascinating story of eastern Yorkshire, explaining just how the landscapes came to look as they do. #crowood

Sportive HQ enters administration. There will be no further events...

Short catch-up coffee shop ride this morning. Chilly start - got the big jacket out - but the threatened rain gave way to blue skies. Red kite in abundance. connect.garmin.com/modern/activit…

Cheeky out-and-back pub refreshments ride along the @tpt_national stretch called the Hornsea Trail. Young 'un practising her turbo charge from the stoker's seat and eldest on his MTB. Good to see a metal replacement picnic table in place of the melted resin one 👍

Grey skies, but barely a drop of the forecast downpour passing through Millington earlier. A fair few red kite and runners, though. A meandering route to justify the sausage and mushroom sandwich for elevenses 👍🏼

Really nice to see more entries coming in for the Yorkshire Coast Dirt Dash. Join us here: dirtdash.cc/yorkshire I wrote a feature on the Route YC Adventure Weekender in Feb when we launched the routes, which is now on the Cycling UK website: cyclinguk.org/route/weekende…

“Pressure is for tyres!”

Rode for an hour or so on a catch-up ride yesterday before going our separate ways after Warter - yorkshirewoldscycleroute.co.uk/cycling-climbs… - so a bit of a funny route, but wanted to pass through Millington Dale, and also stock up on coffee beans 👍🏼 connect.garmin.com/modern/activit…

A rare glimpse of blue sky during the first half of yesterday's ride (of course it turned in to a lovely day by journey's end) passing through Sledmere. SLOW day in the saddle indeed, but planning a few rides next week to grope towards a bit of fitness... connect.garmin.com/modern/activit…

Early morning catch up ride over ‘the’ bridge. Good stuff 👍🏼

👍🏼

Is it just me or does anyone else think there should be a nice bench or something here? Anyway, enjoyable but surprisingly tiring bike ride today. Just what I needed, though 👍 connect.garmin.com/modern/activit… #RedKiteBikeRide

Some long shadows across the fields by the end of today's day in the saddle. A challenging but rewarding ride taking in the varied scenery of the wonderful Yorkshire Wolds connect.garmin.com/modern/activit… #HockneyTrail

Rest day

A lovely day for it. Like Piccadilly Circus this morning in Huggate! Nice to chat with some of the party before setting off on our respective journeys. May cross paths again when they pass through Thixendale 🤔… … but for now, refreshments 👍🏼

Not seen Bishop Wilton featured on the news lately? St Edith’s church - on the #SykesChurchesTrail - the Fleece Inn & the Community Shop are all worth a visit. This by Rob Ainsley (he says there are plans for a purpose built bike rack) is worth a read: e2e.bike/yorkshire-ridi…
