The Yorkshire Dales is a vast stretch of open moorland with a few villages tucked away in valleys or at its edges. This ride, along the main road from Pateley Bridge to the popular tourist village of Grassington, highlights the remote scenery as it sweeps across the moors. The climb out of Pateley Bridge up Greenhow hill is long, but the steep bits are in stages, giving some chance for recovery in between. After that, it is a fast, undulating run to Grassington, with the reward of its many good cafes and tea shops when you get there (in real life).
