Fremington
Total distance: 7.8km (4.85
miles)

Total Time: 30-90 minutes
Route summary: This is a
beautiful and mostly flat route
mixing farm tracks, meadows
and riverside singletrack to
give beginners a great
introduction to this northerly
Yorkshire Dale. If you fancy
incorporating some more
strenuous and technical riding,
you can easily tag the start or
finish of the Moderate Ride
onto this one.
Turn right out of Dales
Bike Centre and over the
bridge. Turn right up past the
church as the road curves
round to the left.
Turn right again along the
singletrack road between
dry stone walls.
Continue straight onto
the bridleway as the
road turns left uphill. Follow
the farm track until it opens
out into riverside meadows.
Follow singletrack along
the riverside to a gate. Go
through (remember to close it
after you) and traverse
upwards under Stubbin Farm
up to the road.
Have a drink and a
breather then retrace
your route down to the river
and along to the bike centre.
