Manhoc ride out Gary’s “B road blast” 23rd March 2025 which took in the best biking roads in the North Yorkshire Moors, starting from Mac’s at Rising Bridge, Haslingden at 10.30am.
The morning started damp after the heavy overnight rain, but things cleared quickly with a welcome warming sun, the day produced perfect biking. It was via the B roads to Slaidburn on to the fab Ribblesdale valley to Hawes for a hearty ‘English breakfast’ dinner for all. Then, onto the famous “Buttertubs Pass”, where a stop cannot be resisted to enjoy and take a video of the stunning vistas.
Back on the bikes, with a slight detour from Andrew, to take in more gorgeous views over the mountainous moors. Then back on route across the top moors to Leyburn, Bridge Inn, and a coffee stop. Finally, back down to our Shepherds favourite road to Skipton and to Mac’s at Clitheroe for final coffees, cakes and hugs.
The route was back by popular demand from last year and, wow, did not disappoint. Gary, our faithful shepherd, can you please include this classic route again next year. Thoroughly enjoyed by all.
