Notes
Awayday ride to tackle Buttertubs (with a potential ride over Grinton Moor).
We have route options (join the poll on the B ride WhatsApp group to express your preference).
Option A includes the climbs of Buttertubs AND Grinton Moor and is 40 miles with 3150ft of climb
Option B includes Buttertubs but takes the flatter route to Richmond to skip Grinton Moor. 53 miles and 3300 ft climb.
Cafe stop in Muker - nobody wants to do Buttertubs with cafe legs!!
Safety, pace, and ride notes
Typical B group pace of 11-14mph with regrouping at the top of hills. A great opportunity to tackle these iconic climbs in a group ride.
Kit, preparation, and weather
The tops of Buttertubs and Grinton Moor are very exposed to the elements and faster riders will be required to wait for the slower ones. Come prepared!
Due to this exposure and the hazards of descending on slippery, wet roads, we will cancel in the event of an adverse weather forecast.
