A lovely, easy Rosedale loop.

- On a beautiful sunny day there is no better place to be than the North York Moors. I've driven down the roads around here many times but this is the first time I've ridden around Rosedale. You can start at the car park on the Whitby road and have a break in Rosedale halfway round, but I prefer to start at the bottom of a loop so I finish with a descent.
Most of the ride is on gravel or minor road, but the section over the Hutton Le Hole road is more technical, not difficult, but just a bit more challenging. Providing there isn't a sheep roadblock you shouldn't need to stop! This ride would be a great introduction to cross country mountain biking, the technical terrain near the end isn't bad at all, but easily walkable for anyone that doesn't fancy it. An experienced gravel biker should manage it, but there is the option to cut out this section and go down Rosedale Chimney, but it is steeeeeeeeep!!!
You can get refreshment from the Dale Head Farm tea room, but check opening times before you go, it is a big detour if they are closed. We noticed the White Horse Farm Inn on our last drive so I was looking forward to popping in, but again check times before visiting, the Coach House was a more than adequate replacement, especially with both being so close to the end of the ride.
We have been to the Abbey Tea Rooms many times, but there is also Graze On The Green should you prefer coffee and cake.
There are 2 caravan parks in Rosedale should you wish to stay in your tent, motorhome or caravan, but the Howard does close early in September.
Have a look at Over The Hill Mountain Biking with Tony for some great rides in the lakes and Southern Scotland, and I'll see you on the next ride!

Nice ride Bob
@samwomersley3487 Thank you!! My wife is very keen to do this one.
Nice video Bob and thanks for the mention. You certainly had good weather. Not sure what camera you use, but I've just ordered the brand new DJI Osmo Action 5 Pro. I'm still using the original Action 1, so this will be a BIG upgrade 😁
@@overthehillmountainbiking it's an old gopro hero 7 black. I'm thinking of getting a more modern camera for Christmas and using the 7 for b roll shots.
@@bobthebimbler yeah the 7 came out the same time as my Osmo Action 1. Cameras have changed a lot since then
Was this real filmed on the 22nd of September. The weather is amazing
@AndrewDaley-lr9qg this was last Wednesday. We had a magnificent few days away in the caravan, enjoying it while we can. I've been out this afternoon before a few days of rain ahead!
Hi mate what are you riding 😀
@AutoGleamTruths it's the original 2019 e150s. Hasn't skipped a beat from new except when I've crashed it!!!
Nice pleasant ride Bob….. shame the camera went funny at the single track section… it looked like it would be good. I’ve had many a pint at the pub after a ride in that area too. 😂
@@EMTBnorthyorkshiredad just gives me a reason to do the ride again!
Do you have a GPX file for this or a Strava link?

That's the strava link
Looks a great ride do you have gpx or a komoot?
If you follow me on Komoot (Bob Manwaring ) its in my saved tours. I think originally the loop starts near the Lion pub, but I preferred the start abd finish in Rosedale.
Any chance of a .gpx file for the ride

That's the strava link. I got the route off Komoot, I found it easier to follow than on my Garmin
Great video Bob and a good insight to riding in the Rosedale area. Been a while since I've been riding there and interesting to see quite a lot (if not most!) of the old railway is gravel. Some good bridleways too, remember the one that descended into Lastingham was a belter. And good pubs for a post ride pint too 😃
Will have to try that descent!
@@bobthebimbler seem to remember it was a shooting track but really fast. Also the Blacksmith's Arms in Lastingham is a lovely pub, worth a visit for a cheeky pint or swift half!!
