The annual ‘GHS Rides’, where club cyclists from across Yorkshire gather to remember George Herbert Stancer OBE (centre of pic), who did much to promote cycling.
There will be a choice of three routes (65, 80 and 100 miles) with riders usually off from 9.00am onwards.
There will still be a shorter ride from the Barnbow as usual.
GHS Rides start at the lay-by opposite the Crooked Billet pub (LS24 9QN) and all include stops at Pocklington. Entry fee of £5 (covers entry to Burnby Hall Gardens and Yorkshire Cycling Federation donation) cash at the start point, please bring change. There are no official routes for these rides, just checkpoints to be passed through:
Last sign on is 9.15 am and make sure you get a stamp in the card you are given at the start at each checkpoint and hand it back at the finish.
