The intention for this ride was to do a nice 50 miler out to Masham and back, but once underway we were balsted by a not very nice headwind!  It was decided to pull into the visitor centre at Fountains Abbey as a couple of us had ailments and get charged up with coffee and cake and take a more leisurely route back to Harrogate.

After the very nice (if a tad expensive) refreshment stop it was down the main Studley Royal drive and onto Ripon, before returning along a nice flat route on the old Knaresborough Road, before climbing back into Harrogate via Starbeck.

A nice ride: http://connect.garmin.com/activity/35068201
