Stu Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 When the weather gets better I have a ride planned that I wanna do. I used to work round North Yorkshire and I know allot of back roads.Meet at Squires.Head to Helmsley via York, Haxby and the B1257. From there head to Rosedale Abbey in the lower edge of the moors. Features a nice 1-in-3 hil called Rosedale Chimney from Kirkbymoorside. There's a nice pub here too.Humpback bridge on the way out... From there through Pickering to Thornton-Le-Dale and follow the signs for Dalby Forest (£2 for bikes) and do the Dalby Forest Drive. Cafe here too. Very quiet and remote.Head out to Whitby as eventually we get to the coast road. Plan then is to head back from Whitby through Scarborough and Brid, home on the A166. im up for that im guessing you have a standard bike then ? heading to helmsley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stelmer Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 I have a GSX550, from 1985. It's probably older than most members here... Wasn't planning on stopping in Helmsley. There's a Jet petrol station in Kirkbymoorside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stelmer Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 I'm not a fast rider/driver so no worries about getting pulled for speeding or doing anything risky.Could get pulled for the fact that I ride an old bike and cos it's posh up there, anything old is thought to be illegal as I found out in the Toyota.

stelmer Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Cool.Must point out i'm not a fast rider. I'm more a leisurely rider. I stick to the limits (mostly) and don't overtake things at every opportunity.Feel free to amend the route. Everyone ok with the £2 toll for Dalby Forest? It's nice and very hidden when you get to the visitor centre and cafe there. If we get a nice summer, I will probably go there quite often.
