Event summary

Get ready for an exhilarating day of cycling at The UKCE Yorkshire Classic, hosted by UK Cycling Events on Sunday, April 24, 2022! This exciting event takes place in the historic city of York, North Yorkshire, and is perfect for cyclists of all skill levels. Riders can choose from four fantastic routes, each designed to showcase the stunning landscapes of both North Yorkshire and East Riding of Yorkshire.

For those seeking a challenge, the long route features a thrilling vertical ascent that will truly test your legs, while the rook ride, with only 142m of climbing, is ideal for beginners or anyone looking to explore the area on two wheels. Prepare for a heart-pounding climb out of the village of Leavening, where you'll tackle a short but steep section averaging 6.5% over 1.9km. After conquering the climbs, enjoy the picturesque rolling countryside that Yorkshire is famous for. As you cross the finish line, you'll be rewarded with a finisher’s medal, a refreshing beer from Freedom Brewery, and delightful goodies from our partners at Jimmy’s Iced Coffee and OTE sports. Join us for a day filled with camaraderie, adventure, and stunning scenery at The UKCE Yorkshire Classic!

Organiser's Description

Our Classic Series is designed with all riders in mind. With four routes to choose from and nothing too technical we would love to see as many riders joining us for one of our Classic events as possible.

Starting just outside the walled city of York our four Yorkshire Classic routes showcase the glorious areas of both North Yorkshire and East Riding of Yorkshire.

The long route takes you up and over enough vertical ascent to give your legs a true taste of the area, whilst our rook ride at only 142m of climbing is perfect for anyone wishing to explore the area for the very first time on two wheels.

The toughest climb of the ride is a short and sharp 1.9km burst with an average of 6.5% as you come out of the village of Leavening. Negotiate that, and the rest involves 'rolling' through the beautiful countryside Yorkshire has to offer.

Of course you’ll be rewarded for all your efforts as you cross the finish line to receive a finishers medal, beer from Freedom Brewery and other goodies from our partners at Jimmy’s Iced Coffee and OTE sports.
