Its all still new to me- yesterday I rode over Outlane and onto Laund road (fantastic) - down towards Marsden and I noticed a white rose/small sign posts. Where can I buy a book or map with these routes/sign-posted routes on?

I thought I did a good ride yesterday however using google street view it was only 36miles total 3,000ft climbing. 2,800ft descending. bit shit really 😯

Might have been this?

You are right, it is nice up there/here. One of the reasons we moved up to the top of the world was the traffic free back lane riding it offers. Plus, because every ride ends with at least 800ft of climbing you can't help but get fitter.

Yeah, the white rose signs are the WY Cycle Route. To be honest you can't really go wrong with the back lanes round here, just head out and explore, it's all good, and it all goes up and down.
