Hi Soof yer mate lived in Leeds all my life...you get to Sherburn?
No mate, are you referring to squires? Sadly too many idiots, no offence, hang around up there for my liking. Guy I know ended up with a broken leg and ankle after some dick tried showboating outside the main entrance a few years back and slid down the road, took out 4 other bikers also, air ambulance job, not good. Nearest I get is I like the run over to Cawood from Tad, then Malton etc.
I usually ride up to Leyburn, Hawes, Skipton, or Helmsley to Whitby way depending on if I fancy fish and chips or some Wensleydale cheese lol.
Currently living near Wetherby but will be moving nearer to York either later this year or in 2017.
