This booklet contains important details about the event along with safety arrangements for the day. Please familiarise yourself with this before you arrive.

This includes the emergency contact number. We recommend arriving at least one hour before the start of your ride to make sure there is enough time to park and register before making your way to the start area outside Selby Abbey, this is a 5-10 minute walk from the registration point.

Start/Finish Area

pavement in front of the Abbey before your start time. The start line will
close at 09:30. Riders will not be able to start after this time.
The event village and finish line will close at 17:00. If you think you will
struggle to meet this cut off time please change your ride distance or set
off earlier. If the support vehicle catches up with you, you will be advised
to take a shorter route to the finish.
At the start line you will receive a short briefing containing any important
changes or updates to the route.
Technical support will be provided by Halfords at the registration point
and Selby Cycling Club at the Start/Finish area on the Sunday only. They
will provide last minute technical support, however, please check your
bikes before arriving and bring any spares with you.
Your results will be available at the Ride Timing kiosk as soon as you
cross the finish line, and online at: www.ridetiming.co.uk/certificates.
Please start at the allocated time and allow cyclists covering the longer
distances to get to the start line ahead of you. Riders will set off every
couple of minutes in small groups. It is best to assemble with your friends
if you want to ride together.
