Yorkshire Wolds Cycle Challenge
Yorkshire Wolds Cycle Challenge
The Yorkshire Wolds Cycle Challenge was started in 2011 and has since become the charity's most important annual fundraising event. Starting and finishing in Norton, Malton, it's a non-competitive but challenging event whereby cyclists have 2 choices: to ride 72 miles in 1 day, or 144 miles over 2 days, around the highways and byways of the beautiful Yorkshire Wolds, with the 2 day riders stopping for an overnight camp at the halfway point in Hutton Cranswick.
This year the event takes place over the wekend of July 12th & 13th and entries are steadily coming in. The event relies on a team of approx 50 people to help make it happen, including event organisers, marshals, Guardian Angel riders, first aid and mechanical support, luggage transfer team, volunteers at the halfway venue and even a security guard to look after the bikes overnight!
Riders pay a nominal entry fee then in addition, raise sponsorship for RSF. In addition, we're indebted to our event sponsors Bannister's Yorkshire Family Farm, Big Bear Bikes, Kent Buiding Developments, MKM Malton, Matthew Maw Removals and Propak. Last year we had 120 riders who helped raise £16,000.
