For anyone wishing to visit Yorkshire, how about motorcycle riding the routes of The Tour de Yorkshire, http://letour.yorkshire.com/

I'm on earlies so might be on the route on a job bike :-)

Will you do the full route or do you just escort them through your area ?

Was out in The North York Moors yesterday, through The Esk Valley to Whitby, then to Pickering & back.

Plenty of bunting & cyclists around on sections of the route.

Is anyone taking part, spectating or riding the route(s) of the 2016 T de Y at the weekend.

This is the Stage 3 route on Sunday 1st May 2016 from Middlesbrough to Scarborough, 128 miles, approx., 4 hours on a motorbike.

This is the Stage 1 route on Friday 29th April 2016 from Beverley to Settle, 117 miles, approx., 3.5 hours on a motorbike.

This is the Stage 2 route on Saturday 30th April 2016 from Otley to Doncaster, 87 miles, approx., 3.5 hours on a motorbike.

Hi Dave
I was thinking of riding part of the route, depending on the weather of course. It's running right though my village so I shall be giving a bit of local support & then possibly heading off towards Scarborough.

Hi Chad, weather permitting, (and it's not looking too brilliant at the moment),  I'm thinking of doing all of Stage 3 from Middlesbrough to Scarborough, tomorrow, Saturday 30th, the day before the cyclists do it, hopefully that makes sense.

If I do it, (I'll decide in the morning),  I've arranged to meet some others at Suggitts in Great Ayton.

At sometime in the future, I'd like to try and do all of the Stages as ride outs.

scratched record......etc...etc...etc....! :sleep:

The forecast for today (Saturday) isn't unreasonable, looks like I'll be heading out, to do the Middlesbrough to Scarborough Stage 3 Route.

Just making sure you all got the message.


Faster without all the scaffolding too!

Had a cracking ride out today (Saturday),  covering 185 miles.

Look forward to doing Stage 1 Beverley to Settle & Stage 2 Otley to Doncaster sometime.
