A Beginner’s Guide to Sportive Riding

What to Expect in a Velo29 Sportive

York – Leeds – York, is one of the biggest spring season sportives in the UK attracting 1000’s of riders to tackle one of the three route options.

Departing from Murton to the east of the York, you will head toward the historic city, crossing the River Ouse at the Millennium Bridge; then cycling past The Knavesmire, York’s famous racecourse before heading onto some stunning little country roads in the direction of Leeds.

There are 3 route choices, the short at 41 miles, the medium at 72 miles and the long at 100 miles.

There is a route choice to suit all abilities in this spring event, whether it’s your first sportive or you love a 100m challenge we have a route to suit you.

For 2024 we’ve got an awesome new Medium and Long Feed Stop in the Village of East Keswick. It’s a lovely brand new Village Hall. This also mitigates the need for Medium riders to cross the A64.

York – Leeds – York has become one of The Biggest Sportives in the North of England, 2024 will be the 10th edition, we’d love to see you there!
