(What there's more!) This circular route is about 182km / 113miles. It took the Bicyclemania trailfinders 4 days to complete the trip at a steady crank turning pace. At the end of the days ride we stopped at points along the way. Pit-stops were at Goathland, Glaisdale, Lastingham & Scalby. You can make up your own stops along the trail.
