husoi Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 Hey Gonzalo, welcome to the forum. You should elaborate a bit more on your "rides" Are you talking about a 200 miles trip? A 10 miles trip and spend the day in the pub? What type of ride you enjoy? countryside or just around York (city rides)? I'm sure you will find someone keen in going along but you need to be a wee bit more specific Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dynax Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 Have a google for any local clubs as they should be able to start up again soon Mind you there is nothing wrong with riding on your own, I prefer to ride on my own as I set my own pace and go where I want to go, if i decide to make a change along the route then that's what I will do 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder why you see so many professional cyclists in a huge pile up then. I'm same with big groups, no matter how careful you are it only takes one idiot. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granty Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 Hi. I don't know if its open at present, if it is Fimber Cafe on the B1248 would be a good starting point. Not bad to get there from Leeds. Loads of bikers were getting in there, pre Covid. I'm hoping for a visit a week tomorrow. Get refreshed and follow it up with a ride round the Yorkshire Wolds and then bomb on home back to Leeds down the A64. Regards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I back tracked after a cup of tea and a slice of egg and bacon pie. Ended up at Hovingham, Byland Abbey and back through Hemsley to Whitby. Brilliant days ride.
