A Different Kind of Charity Bike Ride
The Yorkshire Wolds Cycle Challenge is a unique annual fundraising event that in the past 13 years has gained a reputation amongst riders as ‘the friendly one’.
Whether it’s our challenging two-day event, or our new one-day event, both events are recognised by British Cycling, BUT this isn’t a competition, race or sportive reserved for serious riders.
We actively encourage riders of all ages, abilities and experience levels to get involved, have fun and push themselves. The challenge is particularly popular with female riders (almost half of our entry is female) as they say they enjoy the camaraderie with other riders!
What makes the Yorkshire Wolds Cycle Challenge special?
Listen to the views of some of our riders!
Non-competitive
This isn’t a race or a sportive event. It’s designed to be a fun, challenging and inclusive fundraiser, with entrants supporting each other and riding together in aid of a great cause.
Inclusive
Everyone is welcome to take part in the challenge. Each year, people of all ages and experience levels take part, including corporate teams, first time riders, teenagers, families and cycling enthusiasts from across the country.
Everyone’s welcome to take part
The Yorkshire Wolds Cycle Challenge events aren't a race or competition. Instead, our mission is to bring together people of all ages, abilities and experience levels for a fun and friendly, one or two day event, in aid of charity. That’s why e-bike riders are more than welcome to take part, as the challenge is all about community spirit and a shared appreciation of the beautiful Yorkshire Wolds.
E-bike charging points
As an electric bike rider taking part in a 72-mile or 144-mile cycling challenge, you need to know that there are sufficient spots available along the route for topping up your batteries. That’s why we’re adding charging points at the two designated refreshment stops each day, which are located at approximately one-thirds and two-thirds distance.
