Seven Knights met for a long and hilly ride to Castle Howard. The route took in the climb up to Huggate followed by a drop down to Thixendale. Rising out of the valley towards Leavening we continued westerly into the wind to Barton-le-Willows before looping northwards to Castle Howard.
Our return route took in Malton, Settrington, West Lutton and Driffield then home. It was a tough but wonderful day out with 1350m of climbing covering 135km.
