The chosen track is the Red Route, providing 23 miles of single track on variable terrain with sections of forest road, described by the organisers as “pretty hard work.”

The challenge will raise funds for the British Red Cross, the world’s leading humanitarian organisation, which provides vital services to vulnerable people across Yorkshire.

The British Red Cross helps people prepare for, deal with and recover from crisis, both in the UK and overseas.

A high level of fitness and good bike handling skills are a must for the challenging course.
