The Deer Park Pedal - Tockwith 100km Audax Ride

A variation of the popular Tockwith Fountains Abbey 100km ride held previously. A ride to Coxwold (receipt control) then Founrains Abbey and Ripley castle (both question controls). The route is designed with minimal controlling, and with plenty of resources on route to allow the rider to pick and choose how they take on the ride and where they seek refreshments. The route rolls around on the edge of bigger hills, not often flat, but usually only requiring a quick out of the saddle moment to realise the top of the hill has been reached. Passing plenty of eye candy views and interesting places. The Tockwith events (50km, 100km, 160km and 200km rides) are all priced the same. There will be unlimited tea/coffee/juice, some simple breakfast items at the start and plenty of cake at the finish. This is included in the event price. I encourage you to come in time to enjoy this before the ride, and not rush off afterwards. This will allow you to benefit from socialising with riders who you may be moving at a different speed to, during the ride itself. As an organiser I want to see everyone that wants to, attend the event. Now and again people may feel they can't take on the ride they entered. I am happy to be contacted, to swap the event you entered for a shorter ride, rather than not see you on the day. This also works the other way; if training is going well and you want to take on a longer challenge, give me a shout. To be able to offer this riders need to contact me directly, preferably 2 weeks before the date of the event or more, so the correct brevet cards can be entered. After this time it is still possible, but will depend on what spare cards I have available.
