Hi Wheelers, Saturday 16th September an off road ride is planned through the beautiful North Yorkshire countryside. We are heading towards Scoles, Barwick, Thorner, Pompocali, Bardsey, Wike and into the Harewood Estate, then via Netherby, Kerby, Sicklinghall, Linton and Collingham back home. It is a long route but definitely worth it, we won’t rush and just enjoy it.
