Get into gear for YuCycle
Posted on 13 February 2014
A keen cyclist, Professor Lamberts will take to the saddle himself to lead the fund-raising challenge which takes to the road on Sunday 22 June.
YuCycle offers an on road suite of rides to suit all abilities with riders able to choose a 25km, 50km or a more challenging 100km ride. Starting and finishing at York Sport Village the fully signposted routes visit some picturesque Yorkshire countryside. Participants will have the benefit of free training sessions before the event as well as on-ride support and post-event refreshments kindly provided by our supporters.
On their return, riders will be able to join the YuCycle Family event which will be in full swing at York Sport Village through the afternoon. Families of challenge riders will be able to join their parents on their return from the longer rides.
Organiser Susie Fothergill says: “YuCycle will be a great community event which puts York’s growing expertise in Cycling Development on the map and YuCycle aims to raise funds to support our Achieving Excellence Bursary Appeal which enables students from lower income families to get the most out of their time at York.”
A proportion of the registration fee will benefit the Appeal and participants will be invited to make a further donation on registration or to raise sponsorship to help us reach our fundraising target of £10,000. The event is supported by Cycle Alert which is working with the University, Transdev and City of York Council on improving cycle safety.
Open to anyone who likes a good ride, places for the event are limited and riders can find more details and register at www.yorkspace.net/yucycle.
