You may remember us telling you about the Yorkshire Wolds Cycle Challenge, which Bannisters’ Farm sponsored earlier this year.

Well we’re delighted to tell you that the 146-mile, two-day event turned into a record success, raising £17000 for Ryedale Special Families, a local charity, supporting the families of children with disabilities and special needs.

The third annual event was the biggest so far with 140 starters, which bodes well for next year’s ride which will follow the, much anticipated, Grand Depart.

If you fancy helping to make next year’s event even bigger and better, keep an eye on the Yorkshire Wolds Cycle Challenge website for information on how you can get involved.

In the meantime, you can find out more about what happened on the day on the Gazette and Herald website.
