RouteYC

Enjoy some of the best cycling Britain has to offer on the Yorkshire Coast. The new Route YC cycle routes have been developed in partnership with navigation and route planning app, Komoot. D

Designed by Great British Gravel Rides author and Bikepacking Scotland founder Markus Stitz, they will help local people and visitors of all ages and abilities explore the Yorkshire coast and countryside on gravel, touring and road bikes. Several day trips start in the Yorkshire coast towns of Whitby, Scarborough, Filey, Bridlington, Hornsea and Withernsea, and the North York Moors village of Grosmont.

Get inspired by the film 'Edge of Heaven' feat. Jenny Graham & Mark Beaumont: youtu.be/Nr3tL7ZEM8g

And join us for the Kinesis UK Yorkshire Coast Dirt Dash gravel bikepacking event, a self-supported bikepacking event on 13/14 July 2024 takes you in two days around the dramatic scenery of the Yorkshire Coast and North York Moors National Park. It is the perfect way to experience the Route YC Adventure Route, following the same successful formula as the Dashes in the Cateran Ecomuseum and Dunoon. dirtdash.cc/yorkshire

The second day of the Route YC weekender adventure is the last day of the two-day and therefore also my four-day cycling trip through the beautiful coastal area of Yorkshire.



After a good breakfast we leave our hostel for Dalby Forest. Even though I rode here a few days ago, I'm enjoying it to the max

On Day 2 we had an icy start from Lockton YHA, and we we're again very quickly on quite rural roads and gravel tracks through the quiet forest.



After an early lunch at the Yorkshire Water Park (which it looked like it would be lots of fun in the summer.. when it's warmer than 1 degree). We had a windy

Day 1 of the Adventure Weekender route -> We rolled out of Scarborough earlier (ish) and hopped onto the Cinder track pretty much all the way up to Whitby, and the very entertaining Donkey path - steep is an understatement.



In the afternoon we found the North York Moors NP hills which were

After two days of warm-up cycling, I left today with a group for the main purpose of this trip: Route YC. Part of this route collection is the Adventure Weekender Route, a two-day gravel bike route that we cycle with a group of like-minded people.



On this first day we depart from Scarborough along the
