We have just held our second winter treasure hunt at Felixkirk and 56 cyclists had a pleasant morning riding on the lanes and bridleways in the shadow of Sutton Bank.
The next event is on January 8th at Thorganby near Wheldrake south of York. No mountains but plenty of pleasant English countryside and another very welcoming pub!!
The programme for next year is slightly different with 5 (2-hour) forest events and 4 (3 hour) bridleway events plus a 2-day mountain marathon. Still the best 6 events to count from 11 - and extra categories for the over-60's! SportIdent controls at all events and better quality maps drawn and printed by Jens. Prices will stay the same except for the mountain marathon which will still be significantly cheaper than other similar events. Hope to see you riding in North Yorkshire at one of our events next year.
Merry Christmas
Steve
