than usual, so

Choose in advance
where you want to
watch the race.
Set off early
Plan ahead

Travelling to Ryedale
By Bus
Made for Cycling
The Tour de Yorkshire is a 2.1 UCI Europe Tour
event. This year’s inaugural event is the start of
a cycling legacy for Yorkshire following the huge
success of the 2014 Yorkshire Grand Départ.
Welcome to Yorkshire and A.S.O, the organisers, are
strongly committed to developing what will become a
breathtaking annual race in a county made for cycling.
This is another huge milestone for Yorkshire as we
position the county as the cycling heartland of Europe.
Ryedale District Council is delighted to work with
Welcome to Yorkshire and other partners to welcome
some of the best international cyclists race through the
district on 2 days. The Tour de Yorkshire will provide a
unique opportunity for both local people and visitors
to the area to sample all that Ryedale has to offer,
including a welcome from communities on the route
as well as lots of activities planned over the weekend,
not to mention enjoying the very best of road racing.
It will be a fantastic weekend out for all the family!
The Coastliner network
provides access to all three
days of the race from which
spectator hubs can be
conveniently accessed.

bike! There are lots
of temporary car
parks in spectator
hubs to park and
ride your bike from.

Respect, protect and enjoy
Respect other people
Consider the local community
and others enjoying the
race; don’t block gates,
driveways or roads; leave
gates and property as you
find them; and follow paths.
The impact on the roads
will be limited. In most
cases the roads on the
route will be closed on a
rolling road closure basis
lasting no more than an
hour. The only exception
will be the start and finish
locations and some climbs
where the road closures will
be longer. Road closures
will be managed by the
police. Please remember
not to park on the route.
For further information
on public transport and
car parking links go to
www.ryedale.gov.uk
Dry stone walls
Preserve and protect dry
stone walls by not sitting or
climbing on them and only
park in allocated areas.
Photography
Protect the environment Take pictures but do so
safely and don’t obstruct
the riders. Please be extra
careful with selfie sticks.
Leave no trace of your visit
and take your litter home.
Enjoy the race
Plan ahead and be
prepared, follow advice and
local signs to facilities.
Both days of action in Ryedale
pass through some of the
most beautiful countryside
in the UK. Help us to keep
it this way by following
these simple guidelines.
Farmland and footpaths
Roads along the route
01653 692556
By Rail
Transpennine Express
runs services to Malton
from which spectator
hubs on day 1 or 2 can be
conveniently accessed.

@VisitRyedale
For your safety and the
protection of the countryside
leave gates as you find them,
and only follow designated
footpaths. Keep away from
crops, machinery and animals.
Use gates, stiles or gaps in
boundaries and leave them
as you find them. Don’t
climb over hedges – you
might damage them and
disturb plants and wildlife.
Respect signs and do not
trespass onto private land.
Temporary community car parks
will be signed at spectator
hubs across the district. Local
charges will apply, District
Council car park concessions
apply in Malton and Norton.
Grass verges
Grass verges are home
to protected species of
wildflowers and wildlife.
Avoid parking on them or
near dry stone walls where
you might cause damage.
Fires and BBQ’s
Be extremely careful with
flames and cigarettes – it
only takes one spark to
start a fire. Avoid barbeques
to protect farmland, the
countryside and others.
Dogs
Keep dogs on a short lead
to protect them and nearby
wildlife. Stick to footpaths and
bridleways – open moorland
is home to nesting birds
and dogs are not permitted
on most heather moorland.
Keeping your dog on a lead
is important, especially near
the race. There have been
crashes in the past when dogs
have escaped onto the route.

Ryedale is a cyclist’s paradise. For those of you who
enjoy cycling the quiet lanes, the forest tracks and old
railways lines, the Moor to See Cycle Route provides
some great places for families to cycle. For the more
adventurous, a network of bridleways can take you
up hill and down dale for as far as your legs can take
you. If you really want to test your stamina, try the
graded mountain bike trails at Dalby Forest which
has hosted the Mountain Bike World Cup in 2010
and 2011. Outside the forests, the Howardian Hills
Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty is prime road
racing country with miles of green lanes to explore,

PICKERING
Pickering sees a
‘pedalestriansed’ Market Place,
family fun activities and Big
Screen in the Market Place
so you can stay to watch the
finish live and enjoy evening
entertainment including live
bands. At other spectator
hubs along the route Dalby

events to celebrate the tour
passing through the stunning
8000 acre forest boasting
four spectator points including
Côte de Dalby at Bickley Bank.
Rosedale also welcomes

watching the cyclists take on
Côte de Rosedale Abbey. Extra

Day 1
As you will be able to move
about each stage you will have
the option to see both the starts
and finishes. However there will
be many locations throughout
the two stages that you will be
able to stay for the day and enjoy
all the activities going on. The
message is to think about what
you want to see and plan your
day. In Ryedale we have great
community hubs planned so you
can enjoy the atmosphere.
Think about what
part of the race you
really want to see.
