The sun came out on May 10th to greet the 253 riders who took part in the 2025 Ripon Rotary Charity Bike Ride.

Many of our riders return, year after year and none more so than members of the Ilkley Cycling Club, pictured here enjoying  a well earned rest with some of the welcome home-made cakes at the end of their ride.

Actually, this was not the end of the ride for them, because not only did they cycle over from Ilkley to take part, but having finished their 100K, they cycled back to Ilkley – a round trip of another 80K!

If you also rode this year, we are grateful for your support, and don’t forget, if you were being sponsored and have not yet finalised your collection, we would like to hear from you to enable us to finalise our charity donation total, which looks like being close to the wonderful amount raised last year.

Many thanks
