Vyking Ride
POSTPONED
New ride coming soon!
The Vyking will rise again!
It’s with a heavy heart that we have had to make the decision to postpone RIDE Vyking, which was due to be held on Sunday 19 September, 2021.
All registered participants will have received an email from us. If this is you, and you haven’t received anything, please check spam or junk folders, before contacting us by email.
We realise how disappointing this is, especially as we have all been waiting so long to ride once more after these uncertain times!
The good news is that we have already started work on a brand-new event for 2022. RIDE Vyking is part of our growing RIDE Series, and we’re committed to continuing to have a presence on the Yorkshire sportive scene. We will be back!
As a Yorkshire rider myself I am developing an exciting new route for RIDE Vyking, one which I think you'll love even more and will prove to be popular amongst the Yorkshire community. There will still be lots of incredible views and climbs to remember!
Join the waiting list to be the first to hear about the latest plans, and to register when bookings open, but for now, thank you for being so patient through these challenging times, keep riding, stay safe, and we can’t wait to see you again soon.
Brilliant organisation, superb signage along the well thought out and beautiful route. The volunteers deserve lots of praise because without their help, cakes, jelly babies and other essential food we would not have got round. Many many thanks.

I’ve had the pleasure of being involved with quite a few Action events now and I love the fact that you can sign up to one of Action’s Ride100 events and know that – as well as having a great time and challenging yourself – you’ll also be helping to save tiny lives.
