Ultimate Yorkshire Sportive 2023 – CANCELLED

UNFORTUNATELY THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELLED

Ultimate Yorkshire brings you a new kind of Sportive for 2023, a premium event for the discerning cyclist. Some of Yorkshire’s finest roads (and hills) along with a prize-winning flying lap at the Boddington Circuit at the Brownlee Centre in North Leeds and the one thing many try to do at the end of the ride, a sprint finish for the last 400m again with a cash prize at the end.

Have your best day on a bike in 2023 with Sportive HQ at this new style of event. They have put many things in place to assure that this happens. As a 100-mile route, with racing at the 63-mile point and at the finish it’s important to stay properly fuelled and not burn too much energy up before you get to the track, so they have made sure there are plenty of rest stops and fuel stops along that route.

The track flying mile can be done individually or as a team of 4, you’ll get half a lap warm-up ready to hit the start line at speed before putting in a full mile at maximum effort. All riders will be ranked in age/gender categories, but prizes will be awarded like this:

Fastest Male, Fastest Female, Fastest Male Team, Fastest Female Team and Fastest Mixed Team
Prizes for the above are:
1st £300
2nd £150
3rd £50
For the team race, the clock starts when the first person crosses the start line and finishes when the third person crosses the finish line.
The Sprint Finish will be from the gates into the Racecourse and over the finish line itself, with a £100 prize for fastest male and fastest female.

Once back at the finish get your medal, t-shirt, burger, and beer created especially for the event by Harrogate Brewery.

A proper Yorkshire day out with a difference.

We have 10 Yorkshire Air Ambulance places available. There is no charge for the place, worth £60, and all that we ask is that you raise a minimum of £150 each.
