Velo 29 Altura Ripon Tour Sportive

The Ripon Tour Sportive was a new event for 2014 to celebrate the Yorkshire Grand Depart of le Tour. Part of the existing NYP Tri Ripon Triathlon weekend, we plan to repeat the Sportive for many years as part of the Tour legacy. Sportive rides have existed across the world for many years, they are a great way to ride some fantastic new routes, make some new friends and in the case on The Ripon Tour Sportive, an amazing opportunity to ride the Tour de France roads, in Yorkshire! Most bikes are suitable but they must be in good working condition to complete the ride. There are fast descents so the brakes must work well and you MUST wear a helmet. HQ is Ripon Race Course, easily accessible from the A1 HG4 1UG (for SAT NAV). There is free parking and showers at the HQ.
