Wetherby Cycle Ride 2008
Fancy a pleasant morning in beautiful countryside, on quiet country lanes doing some gentle exercise? Here's an opportunity for the whole family. The 11th annual Wetherby Cycle Ride starts at 10:30am on Sunday 8th June 2008, from Hallfield Lane, Wetherby, raising money for Cancer Research UK.
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 "The event is increasing in popularity every year, last year 243 people took part and raised £6,000 for cancer research. Everyone who participates really enjoys it. 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".
Again this year the event is sponsored by CycleSense of Tadcaster so all the money raised by participants goes to cancer research. At CycleSense they strive to provide the best quality service there is and you can rest assured that they will try their hardest to ensure that you get what you need to make your cycling more enjoyable and rewarding. CycleSense are able to offer cycles for hire, including tandems, trailers, trailer-bikes, electric bikes and an adult trike, contact 01937 530303 or click on their link under "Sponsors & Links" in the right-hand column for more details.
