Last time we had a jaunt up to North Yorkshire, our early start (0600) meant nothing on the roads, but gradually the bikes emerged. Very few are ridden within the speed limits anywhere. On the road south from Ribblehead, which is quite windy, and often with blind bends, by lunchtime there was a complete and exceedingly dangerous mix of tourists in cars, motor bikes, cyclists, horses with riders, and groups of walkers. You never knew what was round the next bend. Not much fun at all.
