Lucky North Yorkshire people

[Greedo]

I was down at Harrogate visiting our friends at the weekend.

Now coming from Glasgow and in particular where I live you can be out in the country within 10 mins and go on some decent rides.

You guys on the other hand are really lucky. My mates live off Duchy Road for those who know the area and within 5 mins you can be in the middle of the country and have the choice of loads of decent routes which must be challenging and great fun.

Been down loads of times but never taken the bike as no one else is that into cycling. I will the next time though.

Oh God,Greedo has just told the whole bloody world about our wonderful secret.

Yorkshire is beautiful and superb to ride in .Thats it shut the border down.

Don't mention The Dales nor The Wolds.

And for the love of god don't mention the Peaks!

if you do visit you can spot me easily enough, i'm the one going very slowly up the hills (sometimes and frankly not often enough).

Peaks? Thats not Yorkshire I thought it was Derbyshire :s


For me to be in the middle of the country it's about 120 seconds.

Just come back from 3x 80 mile days with 10 cycling mates going from Morcambe, Lancaster, Kirkby Stevens, Tan Hill, and out to Easingwold, York, Market Weighton and finally to Bridlington... Mostly on Sustrans routes. Fantastic countryside, great scenery and some highly undulating terrain. Recommended!

Too right. Greedo was bigging up North Yorkshire so I thought we'd got away with it.

If I wanted to spend my time in a cattle market, I would have apprenticed myself with an auctioneer.

Utopia is to nightclubbing, as Corby is to Civic pride

Exactly!
What else do 10 fat middle-aged blokes want for the last night of their boys cycling weekend... Glynbourne?
