Wetherby Cycle Ride 2012
2012 is the year of the London Olympics and Britain's team stands well placed to win several medals, including gold's, in the cycling events. If you would like to emulate their performance and get out on your bike, here's an opportunity for the whole family.
The 15th annual Wetherby Cycle Ride starts at 10:30am on Sunday 10th June 2012, from Hallfield Lane, Wetherby LS22 6JS raising money for Cancer Research UK. This is the weekend after the extended bank holiday so a great time to sweat off those added pounds.
This popular event offers a rewarding and enjoyable morning in the heart of Yorkshire's beautiful countryside. Most of the route is on quiet roads and cycle paths over flat terrain with the occasional gentle hill. Two routes are offered: 20 and 30 mile circuits, designed for cyclists of all abilities and open to adults and children from the age of 12 years.
Ann Newton, who with her husband Jeff, organises the ride, says "This year inspired by the Olympics in London we would like to encourage as many people as possible get out and enjoy cycling, last year 233 people took part and raised GBP4,192 for cancer research. It is great fun, a morning out in God's own country and back in time for Sunday lunch."
Cycling is a healthy, pleasant and non polluting way of getting out into the countryside. If you haven't been on your cycle for years why not dust it off, pump up the tyres and have a go, you'll be surprised how much fun it is".
