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!
Our route's are still under construction and will be updated soon, watch this space!
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.
