At 75km it’s not the shortest of our short route but at this time of the year and with all those Summer miles in your legs, we wanted to give you an end of season challenge!

We get onto quiet Yorkshire lanes as soon as we can and as we head East we soon find ourselves on the stunning roads through leafy villages like Sheriff Hutton as roll into the Howardian Hills. Conneythorpe feed stop with all the delights of a Velo29 feed will be there waiting for you half way round. Then we glide South West via Stamford Bridge as we twist our way back to York where a BBQ Sausage and Erdinger await!
