York 100 - 19 August 2012

The York 100 is our most popular RIDE 100 series event in northern England. 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. A great ride for all, whether a novice or experienced rider, with the right mix of climbs and descents.
