Get involved!
Such is the increasing popularity of our monthly road ride, we have extended this to become a weekly ride each sunday starting at 8:30 from the shop.
Sorry we cant supply the lovely scenery like this but Yorkshire has some splendid sights of its own!
So, distances will vary but from 40 miles upwards - anything huge will be announced on here beforehand.
As usual all rides will feature a cafe stop, running at a reasonable pace of 15-18mph average.
Not sure? - just call us on 01904 472510.
All welcome…. see you on sunday?
Yes, its time for the ‘Ripon Rumble’!
Route is as shown below…
This is a one hundred miler, so make sure you’ve had your Weetabix! The ride will include a lunch stop and at least one additional cafe stop (depending on how knackered our legs are)! Pace will be steady to keep everyone comfortable.
We will be leaving the Shop at 08.00 on Sunday 3rd July, aiming to be back mid to late afternoon.
See you there!
(This replaces the previously incorrectly advertised ride on Sunday 26th June)
On the 5th we should be trying to do the eastern route out to Leavening and Millington - a personal favourite!
The distance will be the usual 50 miles and starting from the shop at the slightly earlier time of 8:30.
Naturally if the wind suggests it, this route is subject to variation.
See you there?
Right folks, This sunday will see us heading West taking in Knaresborough and a few other choice locations..
The distance will be the usual 50 miles and starting from the shop at 8:45 for 9am start.
Naturally if the wind suggests it, this route is subject to variation.
See you there?

Time for some proper riding, We will be going to Gisburn forest next sunday for a blast round the reecntly created trails in Gisburn.
Situated near Skipton, Gisburn features some of the biggest berms i’ve heard of, big enough to scale the side of a house!
Check this link for BikeMagic’s review of the trails….. http://bit.ly/hWaZDW
Leaving the shop at 8am…. whats your excuse… see you there?
Rawcliffe Mountain Bike Park
Singletraction is very pleased to announce its involvement in a brand new MTB development in York.
The City of York Council has commissioned a design of a three phase bike park based at the Rawcliffe Country Park, just next to the Park & Ride station. Phase one is to be funded by Big Lottery and will focus on providing a facility for children and young people, with phases two (for more experienced riders) and three (a multi user track) to follow when funding had been secured. It is currently in the design stages, with Dinsdale Moorland Services Limited doing the course layout, and work will hopefully begin in the springtime, subject to planning permission being granted by this time.
Part of the tender requirements state that volunteers are to be involved in the construction, maintenance and ongoing development of the park. This means whoever is doing the building will be looking for local support and input, both with planning and building. This begins with a consultation event at Rawcliffe Country Park Ranger’s office on 3rd March between 1800 and 2000. All are welcome, especially any input from younger riders but please let Liz Burkinshaw (Liz.Burkinshaw@york.gov.uk) know if you are planning to attend.
Between now and when the first shovel hits the ground, we need to build up local interest to gauge what sort of response can be expected when construction begins.
More news will be posted on www.singletraction.co.uk as and when it develops, but in the meantime, if you live in the York area, here is a great opportunity to get involved with what promises to be an exciting new venture.
To register interest, and to receive future updates on this project, please email Ian at iansikora@singletraction.co.uk
