Only one rider today as the others had family duties to attend to!

Headed out towards Beningborough Hall on a breezy Sunday morning.  The ride out was nice and easy as the wind was behind me.  I was hoping to have a drink and food stop at the farm shop, but due to the speed of the ride I was out there well before the shop opened.  18 miles in just over an hour – can’t grumble with that.

It was then an about turn to head back towards Harrogate into the stiff breeze.  I altered my return route slightly to try and avoid the worst of the wind, and instead of going the direct route back I headed from Arkendale down towards Goldsborough and Knaresborough Riverside to get some shelter.  Had a quick coffee at Rascals Cafe before heading back up the hill towards home.

All in all a nice ride taking around 3 hours.
