150 in 12 challenge ride 2025

Another successful running of the Cleveland wheelers 150 in 12 hrs challenge ride on Sunday, with what’s now becoming a classic route. 12 riders rolled out of Ayton, and 12 rolled back in. Taking in the 153 mile route via the coast road to Sandsend, Grosmont, Stape rd, Malton, York, Boroughbridge and Bedale. Finishing at the Tannery bar Ayton. Those of us who knew Bryan Bevis rode it in his memory. Bryan organised and officiated the challenge rides / tourist trials for many years before I took over the rains. Commendation’s go to Martin Bell who wins the Bryan Bevis “it’s not a race” award, Martin set off early to get over the hilly first part of the route, and then stayed away from the group till Northallerton, riding most of the route solo. Other mention to Toran Sharma, who after finding out at the start he had no steady group mates, stuck in with the speedier group on his gravel bike with tractor tyres on, plus riding out and back home to Carlin How. Great work from all the group completing the ride. Please find the list of finishers below.

Thanks, Dave K
