Ride for Marianne Sportive
Cycle Sportive , Pocklington – Saturday, 03 Aug 2024
Entry via https://www.britishcycling.org.uk/events/details/290198/Ride-for-Marianne-Sportive

The 'Ride for Marianne' is a women only Sportive for East Yorkshire in memory of Marianne Kerr, a true Yorkshire girl and keen cyclist, who lost her battle with cancer in August 2019.To celebrate her life what better way than to cycle around our beautiful Yorkshire Wolds and raise money for 'Women v Cancer' in the process. The event is very appropriately taking place near Yorkshire Day (August 1st) and is on Saturday 3rd August 2024

Starting off from Pocklington Rugby Club there will be three routes. The shorter flat route this year will be 30 miles/48.28km and will head out along quiet country lanes taking in pretty villages and is a perfect route for newbies to sportives. The LONG ROUTE [64.18 miles/103.3kmm] takes in some juicy hills so not for the feint hearted and with amazing views of our beautiful Yorkshire Wolds. The LONG PLUS adds on an extra loop with a few more hills to test those who want a real challenge. Remember, what goes up has to come down so there are also some exciting descents and long flat sections to take in this breathtaking scenery.
