York 100 - 18 August 2013

The Tour de France organisers think that Yorkshire is a great place to ride a bike and we do too! York 100 is our most popular RIDE 100 series event in northern England - take part, enjoy a fantastic day in the saddle in lovely countryside and help fund vital medical research for babies and children.

Starting from the University of York on the edge of this historic city, riders head off on a tough but scenic challenge – going out via quiet roads to the cycling paradise of the Yorkshire Wolds and back via the Howardian Hills, an area of outstanding natural beauty. This is a great ride for all, whether you’re a novice or experienced rider, with the right mix of climbs and descents.

With a choice of a 68-mile or a tougher 102-mile route, you'll have a great day in the saddle with the Action Medical Research team. Whether you’re an experienced rider aiming to get a fast time or you want to make a day of it and take in the sights, this ride is for you.

Expect excellent feed stations manned by friendly volunteers and a buffet style lunch mid-way through the ride that you will find hard to tear yourself away from! Riders will be supported by first class medical support, mechanical services and a sweep vehicle.
