Golden Acre Park
Heading out to Tadcaster via Bolton Percy then to Boston Spa (20 miles) potential for coffee stop at Harts.
Head west to Eccup Reservoir and Golden Acre Park (35 miles). Lunch stop in the park either at the park cafe or al fresco.
Short stretch on the A660 before turning down to Pool in Wharfedale. (Link to the Viaducts ride as we pass close to the Bramhope Railway Tunnel. I don't think it's accessible or visible from the road. It's an idea for another ride as there is also a memorial the Otley)
A668 before turning to Castley and a view of the Arthington Viaduct with it's 21 arches, built 1845-9, carries the Harrogate line.
Continue to Wetherby via Kirby Overblow and Sicklinghall. Wetherby cycle path, Wighill, Askham Bryan.
69 miles, 3031ft ascent
