200 miles ish from East Yorkshire. First tour!

Post by thatruddyvicar »

I've got a few days off next week. Would like to go for a mini tour. Thinking 100 miles or so out, overnight, similar distance home, ideally not the same route. Setting off from Goole area. Any route suggestions. The overnight will need to B&b or hostel.

Which way's the wind's blowing ??
Hopefully if you go into it on the first day, you'll have a tailwind on the way back.

Try East to Hull, Easington, Withernsea then up the coast to Bridlington, 100 miles. Plenty of options for digs in the Bridlington Area. 2nd day up the coast to Scarborough, then West to Pickering and South to Malton. Country roads back to Goole. Another 100 miles. Writing it down is the easy part.

1. Visit this web site:

http://www.cycleyorkshirewolds.com/route

2. Get hold of the cycle map shown on the same page (make sure it is marked 2011) for the best roads to cycle along if you don't do the full route

3. Make a note of the contact details of B&Bs along the way (also some pubs)

4. Get some good lights :shock: if you haven't already

5. Enjoy :smile:
