A ride out to Pickering looking at some of the old mills and "green power" plants we normally ride on by. A quick call in to the magnificent folly that is Howsham Mill and it's community hydro scheme. Then it's 4 windmills and corn mills on the way to Pickering. Back with a minor detour to the Saxon church at Appleton le Street (gravel route for a mile).
Carry out coffee on route in Malton and flask and sarnies lunch in Pickering.
75 miles 2500ft.
Looks like a stiff head wind home in Wednesday's forecast so route can be shortened on the day.
