It has information on the route out of Leeds and route information. I have used some of the route over near Winterset and it was good fun and well signed. (even people with no sense of direction could follow it!!) By the way, congratulations on the engagement. Check out www.eternityweddingcars.co.uk (Ill do you a discount!)

I'll have to get a map out and scrutinise the route in more depth. Les, it's a cross between roadies and mountain bikers. The guys who have never ridden before are all buying MBs because they're cheap (and nasty). Will certainly consider the Trans Pennine Trail. Are there places to stop at along the way i.e. Hotels, B&Bs? Do you know roughly how long the route is? Jack, we will start looking for sponsortship once the route is sorted. A charity has now been agreed and we will be raising money for the Save the Children Fund who are also celebrating their 90th birthday. Many thanks Alastair Doug, I like that idea.

The Trans Pennine Trail runs from the Royal Armouries out towards Pollington so its nice and flat, and keeps to tracks and quite lanes. May be of use if people are not used to riding bikes.

Why not then do a loop north of York (lovely villages and quiet roads) and return to York for the second day (you could have accomodation at the same place for two nights). Then return, via the country lanes to Leeds (maybe slightly different route, but calling for a cuppa at Sherburn cafe before the last bit to Leeds.

You can also upload that route into the Garmin. I am sure that either you can use mine or Martyn's or Craig's. Is this a first step for them into the direction of sponsorship?
