Cycling

1/24/2004

Just completed the "lit roads" route around York. 19 miles but it's a bit dull because the ride is almost exclusively through urban areas. A little respite comes near the University, over the Millennium Bridge and down Wiggington Road. The route: Up Haxby Road to New Earswick. Link Road to Huntington. Through the village to New Lane. Along New Lane to Malton Road and down to Heworth. Along Melrosegate, Tang Hall Lane to Windmill Lane an to Heslington. Past the hall and through to Fulford. In towards the city to the lights and left down Hospital Fields Road. Over Millennium Bridge, straight on along Butcher Terrace and follow cycle route signs to Acomb through the South Bank houses to the Knavesmire. Down Tadcaster Road to St Helen's Road and then Gale Lane to Acomb Green. Out to Beckfield Lane and through to Boroughbridge Road. In towards the city then left down Landing Lane to Clifton Green. Left to Rawcliffe Lane and through to Green Lane and Cliftonmoorgate. At the Bumper Castle right down Wiggington Road towards home. There are a few bad points. St Helen's Road surface v poor. Gale Lane has difficult mini roundabouts and rough surface. Level Crossing on Wiggington Road is uneven.
