This is the 25th time the Great Yorkshire Bike Ride has been organised by the Wetherby Lions and last year raised almost £120,000 for worthy local charities.

The ride starts in Wetherby and ends in Filey a total distance of about seventy miles accross the Yorkshire countryside through the Howardian Hills to Malton and then onto Filey and usually attracts over 1500 entrants.
