Itinerary<\/span><\/h3>\n

Monday 23 September,<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/h4>\n

We will stop somewhere on the M6 for a comfort break, probably the popular Junction 38 services. When we arrive in Morecambe we will use Morrisons, giving access to their cafe and toilets, the official start is a short distance from the supermarket. A bite to eat would be sensible before setting off as our official lunch stop will be at Crook O Lune carpark, a few hours cycling away.<\/span><\/p>\n

Evening meal will be a meat lasagne with a vegetarian version available, salad and a pudding of cake and cream. Please bring along your own drinks, alcoholic or otherwise. A plentiful breakfast will be Continental style.<\/span><\/p>\n

Note,  please bring along packed lunch, for the first day only.<\/span><\/h5>\n

Meet at MacDonalds (Metro Retail<\/span> Park) for 8 o’clock<\/span>, travel to Morecambe in a 12 seat minibus<\/span> (duration 3 hours, includes a comfort break). S<\/span><\/span>ta<\/span>rt cycling east to Austwick. We are staying at the Austwick Ramblers Huts on a self catering basis, with evening meal and breakfast provided by Cycle-Treks.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

First day mileage totals 28 miles and classed as easy and then moderate and occasionally hard.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h5>\n

Tuesday 24 September,<\/span><\/h4>\n

An early start as we cycle to Pateley Bridge, stopping on route for lunch and staying at Harefield Hotel tonight on a dinner, bed and breakfast basis.<\/span><\/p>\n

I’ve been asked to take meal choices for our two-course evening meal, I will have a menu to share closer to our day of departure. Lunch will be at the Town End Farm Shop & Cafe in Airton (after climb out of the Settle).<\/span><\/p>\n

Second day mileage totals 35 miles and is classed hard. <\/span><\/p>\n

The toughest climb of the route is at Settle, there are plenty of ups and downs during the approach to Settle and at the end of the day there is a long and dangerous decent in to Patelybridge.<\/span><\/p>\n

Wednesday 25 September,<\/span><\/h4>\n

Another early start, then cycle to York, again taking lunch enroute and staying at York YHA (remember to bring a towel). Evening meal and breakfast to be provided by Cycle-Treks.<\/span><\/p>\n

Lunch will be at the BoroughBridge Caravan & Camping Park, Roecliffe. It is a clean and tidy site, well equipped for our needs.<\/span><\/p>\n

The evening meal will be either a rice or pasta based dish with salad, followed by cheese and crackers. After our meal it’s a short riverside walk in to York to see the city sites.<\/span><\/p>\n

Third day mileage is 43 miles and classed as moderate, although there are some climbs, but these cease at Ripon.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Thursday 26 September,<\/span><\/h4>\n

A later start and cycle to Driffield, lunch enroute, and staying at Forty One Hotel on a bed and breakfast basis, our evening meal will be at a local restaurant.<\/span><\/p>\n

Lunch will be at the newly opened Rachel’s Walnut Cafe in Huggate, Rachel doesn’t  sell savouries but is happy for us to use her cafe as long as buy tea\/ coffee and cakes.<\/span><\/p>\n

Our evening meal is at Yorkshires leading Fish and Chip Cafe, Stuarts of Driffield, again we’ve been asked to provide them with our meal choices ahead of our arrival.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fourth day mileage is an easy 44 miles.<\/span><\/p>\n

Friday 27 September,<\/span><\/h4>\n

Start time depends on whether the group wishes to end the challenge at Bridlington (the official end) or carry on a few more miles to Flamborough Head.<\/span><\/p>\n

We will visit the official end of the route at Bridlington before carrying on to Flamborough Head to meet Anne and the minibus. This adds another 6 miles to the day, taking roughly 45 minutes. There are toilets and a cafe at Flamborough Head, it’s almost certain that we will have our lunch here before starting the journey home.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fourth day mileage is another easy 20 miles (Bridlington).<\/span><\/p>\n

Meet with the minibus and head home, arriving back at MacDonalds for approximately 15:30.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bringing your own bike?<\/span><\/h3>\n

I will collect bikes in the days leading up to our day of departure, I\u2019ll be in touch to arrange this closer to the tour date.<\/span><\/p>\n
