For some reason the cafe's not showing on this map like it should but it's on the south side of Eastgate a couple of hundred yards past the roundabout (A169/A170 intersection) and opposite a small block of shops.

The vague plan is to cover the three 'long' lanes we did on the recent Levisham event plus possibly another short one and a bit of forestry. The trails should be suitable for tourances etc with the possible exception of one short boggy stretch that was quite wet when I went for a look earlier today. I think it's probably best to see who turns up and on what and make a final decision on the morning as to whether to do that stretch or not.
There is petrol in Pickering and possibly at one other location on the route, though I'll need to double-check. There's also a reasonable amount of road riding over the moors to link up the lanes. The plan is also for a lunch stop in Castleton or Danby.
Disclaimer - I've never organised anything like this before so it could all go pear-shaped! The lanes do all show as being legal on trailwise and are all GS-able.
