Moonglu Road Cycling Routes in North Yorkshire

-








A list of our favourite road cycling rides in North Yorkshire. We ride many of these as part of Moonglu CC Thursday and Sunday Club Rides. All rides are published in Strava. 

1. Moonglu CC Club Ride (modified)

30 miles with 1800ft of climbing. Quiet roads with 2 good climbs and some fast descents. Rides well at all times of year. 


2. Red of the Redhawks

Flat 29 mile loop that can be ridden both clockwise or anticlockwise. The loop was named in the early days of Strava and has stuck with the club although it is often shortened to Redhawks.  

3. Moonglu CC Club 100 (2024 version)

Our annual club social 100 mile route. Modified in 2024 to be more free flowing and sheltered from the wind. One of the flattest 100 mile rides in the UK.


4. Moonglu CC Hovingham Loop

5. Moonglu CC Reliability Ride

Part of the Yorkshire Reliability Ride series in spring, this is one of our favourite routes with some stunning views over The Dales

Moonglu Bike Servicing Workshop

Moonglu operate a well respected bike servicing and repair workshop.

Don't put up with poor gears, get them looked at, chances are it may only need a cable swap. The Moonglu workshop is not restricted by bike brand. Although we proudly display a Giant Bikes sign outside the shop, we are able to work on almost any brand of bike, old or new, good condition or bad,

Our spokes are usually Sapim Race stainless steel, double butted but we may substitute in DT Swiss Competition or Alpina Extralite where necessary. From 2021 we upgraded our spoke nipples to a secure lock, double square nipple in either alloy or brass. We have done this for a number of reasons. These include their compatibility with DT Swiss PH
