Overall Duration On a long ride, it’s sometimes good to have a little break in the middle, or maybe a catch up at the beginning or end to keep it sociable. This means that the overall ride duration may be longer than the actual cycling time.: 2 hours 45 mins (2 hours 0 mins cycling)
Bike Type You probably don’t want to drag your road bike across bumpy trails. Maybe you want to make the most of the suspension on your mountain bike. This helps you match your ride to your bike.: Mountain Bike, Hybrid (off road tyres), Hybrid (road tyres), Road

Sky Ride Local in York

If you’re fairly confident on your bike and ready to broaden your cycling horizons, our Steady rides are ideal. At a comfortable pace, and possibly with some modest hills along the way, rides take place on mainly quiet roads with plenty of sights along the way. Rides are between 6 and 20 miles long, at a moderate pace of between 7 and 10 miles an hour.

Come and join us on a ride that takes you from Rowntree Park in York to open country side passing by many local land marks. The route is also educational as it teachs us about our solar system with its scale model of the planets and their distances from each other. This version of the route will take in the whole of the Solar System all the way out to the planet Pluto!
