Our ride this week is about George Hudson - The Railway King
Heading out past the Minster we have a couple of early stops at the National Trust Gift Shop in Goodramgate and another at Monkgate before we head out via Haxby, Strensall, Flaxton and Bulmer to elevenses at Welburn. Then on through Crambe to Howsham (where he was born) and Scrayingham (where he is buried). Continue on through Stamford Bridge (lunch) Wilberfoss, Elvington and back into York via Dunnington and Murton.
** change of venue for elevenses - it will now be Castle Howard Arboretum **
50 miles with 1900ft elevation

Cafe stop for elevenses at Welburn
Sandwiches as usual for lunch. However, there may be an opportunity to get a hot drink and a snack at No.10 Cafe/Bar in Stamford Bridge
