The course allows you to chip away at the miles while tackling occasionally testing terrain. With almost 4,000ft of climbing over the Epic route, this is a quick and speedy course, presenting to you some of the best views the Vale of York and the Yorkshire Wolds have to offer, while also providing an early-year wake-up call for the legs.
Cycling in North Yorkshire
Starting from the York Auction Centre, the course heads straight out onto the roads of the stunning North Yorkshire district, while also threading through the quaint and typically pretty villages of the area. First, the route bears east, taking you past the historic battleground of Stamford Bridge, before heading up to Low Callis Wold.
At this point, riders of the Short course split off and head north to re-join the course at Leavening, while Epic and Standard riders continue east to pass through North Dalton, soon to take their own path north.
Once again, the course splits shortly after, just before Sledmere House, sending Standard riders west as Epic riders continue to wiggle their way further east, to the farthest point on the course in Rudston. Here, we start to head for home, and as the finish closes in, two final climbs lay in wait before the long, gradual descent back to York.
The Vale Velo Sportive is ideal for those wanting to get some training in and, considering the distances, isn't too harsh on the legs. That said, there are a few nice and challenging climbs along the Epic route, so don't partake thinking it will be a ride in the park. It's not. It's a ride through the stunning North Yorkshire countryside.

Unlikely IMO. They've already pretty much run out of parliamentary time. Only statutory instrument stuff could get done now.
I have been using microfibre cloths to clean my chain, Silca's Synergetic, (after the old t-shirt wipe) originally the pricey ones from Waitrose. ...
Good luck Dave. May well see you there. Hopefully the weather will be like it is this week!
Well done for Reading cyclists for being so welcoming.
Well exactly. Anything they say now is hot air. They'll all be washed away at the general election and not a moment too soon.
Looking forward to seeing the frothing right wingers wading into this, along with Mark Harper of DfT fame with a suitably unhinged viewpoint...

I'm not confortable with the 'evil' description either. I'm also prepared to accept a custodial sentence may not have been appropriate. However, it...
