I should have said it runs parallel to the A1 on its eastern side. I approach this new road from Aberford up to the roundabout which I refer to as the A64/A1 interchange. It is a big junction and this roundabout is only part of it, west bound traffic on the A64 destined for the A1(M) south uses a slip and misses . The new road used to be a gated road for access to the farms but it was in good state of repair, it's very wide now, it didn't have it's final surface when i used a few weeks ago. This makes a good cycling road, or at least once it links to Wetherby it will will as then I could use the whole stretch to Dishforth, not picturesque, noisy but direct and relatively free of traffic. I have learned that the a661/A1 junction is closed and a new road exists from Wetherby south to the A659 roundabout. This might be heavily trafficked BUT there used to be a cycle track there anyway so if it still exists, we just need the Bramham to the A659 leg.
