Having just spent a great week in Yorkshire riding and exploring, I came across the above cycle route.
Who has done it? Whats it like?
My local patch. It's basically a triangle, Pickering/Scarborough, Scarborough/Whitby and Whitby/Pickering. Most of it is bridleway/minor roads. The Scarborough/Whitby section makes extensive use of the disused railway line. The sections in and out of Pickering uses minor roads up into Dalby and then either follow bridleways across to Scarborough or turn North and up onto the moors. Nothing that technical unless you go off route into Dalby or on the Moors. Only section I know that is in bad repair is a short section from Dalby east to Wykeham that has been hit by the motorcrossers and is a bit of a pain for a mile or so - happens to be the bit I use the most unfortunately. Either of the legs from/to Pickering is about 20 miles with I guess 600-800 metres of altitude gained and lost by the time you have been up and down the valleys. Whitby/Scarborough is a bit more bland - with Dalby and the moors there is plenty of other good stuff of various types around to explore. Only other comment is that in bad weather the moors can be both soggy and cold so plan accordingly.
Cheers for that ratadog.
Last week we rode the old railway line, Whitby to Scarborough, a nice gentle ride with some good views and stop off points.
I picked up a leaflet with a short description on the moor to sea, so was just looking for some more info.
Dalby to Robin Hoods Bay & back is a good ride.
