north yorkshire moors back roads, scenic route

[cocker]

I may tag along, depending on the date and work commitments - I'll watch how the thread progresses

just remembered.... I'm told there's a plan to double-white line the full length of the Helmsley to Stokesley road - can anyone confirm if it's true?

nice one elle, it would be good to meet you, i think, most of the road from helmsley to stokesley is already double white lined, there are some stretches with single white lines but not really that much,

its pouring down here and thundering and lightening at the moment, but surely we must be due some dry weather shortly, ??

will keep you posted,

martin

Chris&Beth up for this. We should have some room at the 'inn' if a few need a bed for the night, saves booking a B & B (date dependent)!!!!!

Haven't spotted any firm dates so far in the thread, but Sandy and I would like a bash at this one. Starting so close to us in Thirsk is even better for us.

ride out date

SUNDAY THE 5TH OF AUGUST,

 

[cocker]

the jubilee ride out on tuesday was grand, and i guess most people would like to have another ride out,
anyway whilst chatting with some of the lads on tuesdays ride out,it was suggested, we have a ride out around the north yorkshire moors national park,
well coming from that area i know it fairly well, and i was thinking of working a route out, based on taking in some some of the best things too see in the area, and obviously some of the best views available,
a lot of the roads would be small back roads, (lesser known roads), they are not very fast roads, but very good fun,
i could build in a couple of faster road sections to spice things up a little,

(ime not the fastest rider, and new to big gs,s but ille do my best)

i was thinking of getting my maps out and studying them, then doing a reccy of the route on my bike, and tweaking it here and there, then i could put the suggested route on this forum for you to have a look at, then we could work a date out to meet up, and a place to meet up, and a place to part company later in the day, ??

if anyones interested or has any suggestions of somewhere they might like to have a look at then let me know and i will build it in,

thanks, it would be great to meet up again and show you our neck of the woods, (although not much can compare the outstanding beauty of the dales, which would be a hard act to follow)
