Beyond Yorkshire Sportive

SATURDAY EVENT

Yorkshire is home to outstanding scenery and a breathtakingly peaceful atmosphere and is a fantastic place to cycle.

Each route will weave through stunning varied scenery and historical landscapes creating an experience to be remembered.

This is a great ride to give a varied profile, with 60 km of almost flat to start for the Long and Medium routes followed by a small loop into the Yorkshire dales for the long rewarded by jaw-dropping views, the Medium follows a more sedate route, but we cannot come to Yorkshire and not do at least some climbing, it is all done with spectacular scenery.

 

Don’t underestimate Yorkshire, there are plenty of tests on route, An incredible ride awaits in superb Yorkshire.

 

With aid stations and on course support, you ride, we will help you finish.

Come join us for a smile that will last for weeks. #iridebeyond
