Format

#pdNYM17 is a 140km self-supported bikepacking pubcrawl over  the stunning gravel of the North York Moors National Park held on the August bank holiday weekend each year.

#pdNYM17 will run on Saturday 26 August 2017:
  • Start: 10am from The Forrester's Arms (Kilburn)
  • End: ~8pm with beach BBQ and wild camp overlooking Robin Hood's Bay [54.407380, -0.492488]​
The ride will be run in Crossduro format - 5 timed segments comprised of gravel and road.  Rider with the lowest aggregate time over the segments 'wins'.  Note there are no entry fees, no prizes, and there is no support.  

We will visit 4 of the finest pubs in the North York Moors:  The Buck Inn, Lion Inn, White Horse Farm Inn, and The Horseshoe Inn.  ​

​Of course drinking and riding is a dangerous mix and something we would never advocate; as with all our rides, riders 
are entirely responsible for your own actions, including what you chose to drink at the various watering holes.

The etiquette is to ride with who you want, when you want. Some people will want to lounge, some people will want to race. Don't feel like you have to wait for the group as it might be a pain at the pubs if we all turn up at the same time.

What bike shall I ride?
You'd ideally ride this on a gravel/adventure
​/cyclocross bike with ~35mm tyres but a winter road bike would also be fine if you're up for a gritty ride.  A rigid MTB would be another possibility.

What shall I bring?
You'll need stuff for overnight camping i.e. a bivvy bag and light sleeping bag/down jacket.  And you'll need some sturdy bikepacking bags so you can ride hard off-road.
Itinerary
Friday 25 August:
  • Get a train to Thirsk or Northallerton in the evening and ride 10-15km ​to High Paradise Farm where we'll be bivvying/camping for the evening (£5 booking required, if full just do your own thing)
  • Everyone will arrive late so just do your own thing re: food in the evening and make sure you bring something for breakfast
Saturday 26 August:
  • Ride #pdNYM17​
  • We'll have lunch at one of the pubs on route.
  • The ride will end at Robin Hood's Bay where we'll buy some supplies (shop shuts at 6pm) and make our way to [54.407380, -0.492488] via the beach or inland cycle path where we'll discretely have a BBQ and bivvy (remember to leave no trace).
Sunday 27 and Monday 28 August:
  • There are no plans... if you have a route or idea in mind, connect with others and help build the collective using the facebook page
