17 18 19 The Big G – ‘Grimpeurs Des Wolds’ Cyclosportive Saturday 9th July

Whilst the elite riders rest their legs after Friday evening’s circuit race around Beverley Market Place, Saturday sees the 9th running of the ‘Big G’ Cyclosportive organised by Hull Thursday Road Club. Our inaugural Sportive event was held in 2008 and named in memory of Graeme Forrester, one of Hull Thursday’s life members,- known to all as “Big G”.

The event was intended as a one off event. It was very well received by nearly 300 riders who enjoyed the late summer sunshine. Having received excellent feedback from the event it encouraged us to organise events every year since with the aim of increasing participation to 750 riders whilst maintaining the quality of the event. Cyclo-sportives are not races but personal challenge rides over a challenging route and although riders are timed the aim of the event is to complete the route usually with team mates or other riders of similar ability.

They are designed for riders of all abilities from novice to seasoned cyclist and even professional riders sometimes use them for training

20 if they have a free weekend. Many of the riders are local cyclists participating in a Sportive for the first time and it is a good measure of the increased popularity of cycling, both locally and nationally. Cyclosportives have become very popular in the past few years and there is at least one every weekend of the season and they are held all over the country as well as in Europe too. Riders will be set off in small groups of about 12 riders and follow a signed route around the challenging hills and climbs of the Yorkshire Wolds.

The event has riders choosing one of four fully paint-marked routes. All 4 routes have been chosen to take you through some of the best roads in this relatively undiscovered part of Yorkshire and feature stunning views of the surrounding valleys and vales, on a clear day both the Yorkshire Dales and North Yorkshire Moors are clearly visible from the numerous high points of the route. The shortest route is 30 km (17miles) and is aimed at youngsters and riders new to the Cyclo-sportives. The 60km event tests riders a little more; it includes the challenging climb of Numburnholme at about 2/3rds distance. The 100 km ride covers the shorter 60km route with an extra loop included and 4 additional climbs. The 160 km route is for seasoned riders with a good fitness base. It includes at least 12 serious climbs and in reality has very little flat riding in between.

There are two feed stations on route were riders can replenish their energy levels and take on board food and drink for the remainder of the ride.

HQ for the Sportives is Bishop Burton College..

21 The East Yorkshire Classic Town Centre Race.

The events can be traced back to 1952 when the Alpha Road Club organised a two day road race from Beverley to Whitby returning the following day. The Road Races continued in various guises up to 2011 and always attracted the most talented riders in the country.

The East Riding of Yorkshire County Council became the event’s title sponsor in 1999 the event was re named the ‘East Riding of Yorkshire Classic’.

The first edition of the town centre circuit race was held in 2006 as part of a weekend of racing which included both the Men’s and Women’s National Road Race championships.

2006: The inaugural Friday evening circuit race saw Rob Hayles taking the win.

2007: the scene was set for a repeat of the three event weekend, including once again the Men’s and Women’s National Road Race Championships. However months of organisational effort were thwarted by severe floods in the week before the events.

2008: The town centre circuit race was awarded the British National Championship title. Dean Downing had what appeared to be a very safe margin with one lap to go in the circuit race. A fantastic effort by Rob Hayles was not quite enough to take victory away from Downing on the line.

2009: Recognised as a well organised and well supported event the East Yorkshire Classic Town Centre race was once again awarded the National Championship status. This time it was Russell Downing for the town centre race, claiming the National Champions jersey.

2010: for the 3rd year in succession the circuit race was the blue ribbon of town centre racing National Circuit Championship. Olympic gold medallist Ed Clancy MBE took the champions jersey by inches in the town centre race.

2011: National Circuit Race Championship for the fourth year running. Graham Briggs took the win narrowly beating Ian Wilkinson and Tom Murray.

2012: Rapha Condor Sharp rider Richard Lang snatched victory from the mighty Raleigh GAC team in a thrilling Elite Circuit race. The 23 year old Sydney-rider won the sprint from a small group of four that broke away in the latter stages of the race. The group contained two Raleigh GAC riders; Bernie Sulzberger and Liam Holohan, but Lang and fellow breakaway companion Owain Doull (100%ME) got the better of the Raleigh boys to claim first and

22 second spots, with Sulzberger having to accept third. Holohan was swallowed up by the chasing bunch finishing in 14th position.

2013: A super-fast race saw 3 riders break clear after the half way mark – Jon Mould- Team UK Youth, Felix English – Rapha Condor JLT & Mike Northey Node-4 Giordana. Despite all teams behind taking turns at chasing not least Team Raleigh the leaders held onto a 20 second gap. Mould beating Northey and English into 2nd & 3rd place. Olympic Gold Medallist Ed Clancy MBE won the bunch sprint to take 4th.

2014 Mike Northey was part of a four up break that formed early on in the Elite Men’s race and with Raleigh having missed it, they started the chase but with two National Champions out front, Northey and Blythe as well as Matt Cronshaw and Graham Briggs, there was no way it was coming back.The peloton held it for a while but the break was gaining a few seconds a lap and soon looked like lapping the peloton. The Commissaires took the decision to finish the peloton a lap early and just as well because seconds after Dean Downing had won the bunch kick. Northey crossed the line to win the race to show that ahead of the Commonwealth Games, he has great form. Adam Blythe won the sprint for second from Graham Briggs and Matt Cronshaw.

2015 Felix English, lacking consistency after a number of injuries in the season took the win in the Elite race. Abby Mae Parkinson and 14 year old Jim Brown were the winners in the support races in front of yet another huge crowd. Mike Northey - Madison Genesis (who favours early breaks in Beverley) got away from the off with Tom Moses - JLT Condor. Steve (Lampier, Raleigh GAC and Jon Mould - One Pro Cycling, went across the gap and joined the two leaders. Felix English went next making a group of five. The break worked well together pulling equal turns to establish a healthy lead.The quintet continued to press on and eventually lapped the rest of the field – the lead motor cycles had to segregate the two groups until the ‘lapped peloton’ were given the finish flag - sprinting for 6th place with 5 laps remaining. With a lap to go Tom Moses jumped. Jon Mould was straight on the wheel and Felix English took up third position with just 400mts to go. Previous experience in Beverley paid dividends for English, knowing that acceleration is difficult on cobbles was led out by Moses, hitting full speed before arriving on the cobbled finish straight, sitting in the saddle to cross the line first.
