Mighty river tamed by 11 power stations. Along the route: romantic riverside paths, asparagus fields, timber-framed houses, pylons, salt towers, motorways, Swiss-German bridge towns, Roman ruins, agglomeration bustle and at last Basel's sweet speciality, Läckerli biscuits and freight ships in the three-country corner around Basel. | |||||

| Rat Race The Crossing - Day 3 | thunderthighs | Mar 22nd, 09:02 | 96.4km |
|
|
| The Crossing is designed to pack in 3 National Parks in 3 days across Northern England. The course will feature a variety of terrains and much off-road riding. It is designed to flow as a journey and to be achievable by a large cross-section of riders. You don’t need a full-face helmet and body armour for this event (!) but you will need to be comfortable on off-road terrain and be ready to switch regularly from tarmac to trail to gravel and back again. This is Day/Stage 3 of 3 from Northallerton to Scarborough. Day/Stage 3, Northallerton to Scarborough. Coming over the North York Moors and seeing the sea is one of life’s great pleasures, whether you are 6 or 60. Before you earn this view though, you’ve got a lumpy n’ bumpy day of open-topped moor, forest trails and gorgeous valleys to ride through. This route will guide you east towards Dalby Forest, itself a mecca for mountain bikers. Once through this last major objective it’s wheels down to the Yorkshire Coast and a triumphant entry into Scarborough from the North-West, to sweep into North Bay and dip a wheel in the water of the North Sea. Just remember to stop riding. Next stop is... Zeebrugge? | |||||

Mostly Yorkshiremen of course, but once you look past the flat cap and whippets, what you get is pretty much what they say it is; at least it is to mountain bikers. This route through Yorkshire cannot fail to impress the most discerning of riders. The scenery is stunning and the nature trail network is brilliant. This Day/Stage 2 course will pop you out of the Dales and into the Vale of York to over-night west of the North York Moors. Two Parks down; one to go…. | |||||

The journey will take you through the National Park to end up at Shap on the edge of Cumbria, ready to tackle what Yorkshire brings in the next stage. | |||||
