125 Miles in 48 hours, from York Minster to Durham Cathedral!

 

        

We did this 125 mile journey to raise money for the Yorkshire Air Ambulance. See our sponsorship page here.

This was the 4th time we'd made the trip to Durham Cathedral. We set off on the Easter Bank Holiday Friday (28th March).

  • Early evening on Friday - we left from York Minster at approximately 5:00pm. cycled an easy, flat 15 miles to the camp-site at Linton Locks just North of York - a gorgeous place by the river. We dined at the Blacksmiths Arms in Newton on Ouse; great food and beer; after pitching the tents ready for closing time!

  • On Saturday morning we set off for the White Horse and a hill climb up and over the Yorkshire Moors - the support camper van (!) carried our tents, equipment and a change of clothes to the campsite on the foothills at the other side of the Moors. There we camped in a lovely pub  beer garden, enjoyed another great meal and a few more beers before hitting the sack again.
  • Sunday morning, we were up early for a hearty breakfast and then set off down the bank into Middlesbrough, along to Hartlepool for lunch by the sea and then worked our way inland to Durham Cathedral and the finish line (eventually!) 

The route was mainly traffic free - trundling through countryside, amazing views and some fabulous industrial architecture in Middlesbrough. All of the riders felt exhilarated when they finished at the huge doors of the impressive Durham Cathedral.

We're always looking for corporate sponsors for this event. Could this be you? You can either donate bike spares, cycle clothing, goods that we can raffle off to raise money or simply donate some cash!  You can even have the ride named after your company by becoming an event partner, just as Ultimate Pursuits did for the Ultimate Pursuits Sea2Sea2006 event and Pavers Shoes did for the Pavers Amsterdame07 and Pavers Amsterslam07 events!

Contact us now to talk about how we can help each other to help the Yorkshire Air Ambulance Service or for more information see our support us page.


Thank you to our corporate sponsors for helping us raise money for the Yorkshire Air Ambulance.
