Supporting families of children and young people with disabilities, illness and additional needs
The Yorkshire Wolds Cycle Challenge is primarily a fundraising event, designed to raise money for a fantastic local charity – Ryedale Special Families.
Every penny raised goes directly to the charity!
In the past 13 years the event has raised over £200,000 for the charity thanks to the incredible generosity of our riders, and their sponsors.
All the money raised goes directly to the charity to help support the invaluable work it does caring for children and young people with disabilities, illness and additional needs across the Ryedale district of North Yorkshire.

Founded in the 1990s by a small group of parents with disabled children, it’s grown significantly over the past 25 years, and today, provides care and support for more than 400 families throughout the Ryedale district of North Yorkshire.
Providing a wide range of services including information, advocacy, flexible one-to-one care, social groups and family activities, it offers a vital support network to help families and young people with all kinds of disabilities.
The charity depends heavily on fundraising to finance the work it does, and the Yorkshire Wolds Cycle Challenge is an important part of this picture.
