| Fri Apr 26th | CYCLING | I have the joy of organising the Bike Ride this month and I propose a leisurely spin from Bedale Church at 10 am to Cocked Hat, Newton via Sinks Lane and then on to Hackforth and the Nest café at Crabtree Hall for a coffee (and Cake?) stop. The return route will take in the A6055, briefly, and Low Street back to Bedale. I reckon that will be around 20 miles in total. There will also be a shorter ride also starting from Bedale Church and stopping at the Nest. I hope you will be joining us. Regards, Bob |
