Route
Here is a route proposal put forward by a former York resident (who will not be available to participate in the ride). It may form the route for 2006.
Proposed York route
The ride would need to start at War Memorial Gardens at 5pm (to allow cycle travel in pedestrianised streets) and ends at the Museum Gardens (which requires a short period of travelling by foot, pushing the bike).
Advantages of the route: The proposed York ride is mostly straightforward with minimal car traffic. It starts close to the Rail and Bus stations, and there is a Park and Ride parking a short cycle distance from the start of the route. The route passes various distinct features of York, including the York Cathedral, historic bridges, pedestrianised medieval streets, Shambles, the Ouse River bankside, Cliffords Tower, the Millenium cycle bridge, National Cycle route 65 and the beautiful riverside Museum Gardens.
