Week 6 Segment: Great Barugh Drag Queen

Segment Link: Great Barugh Drag Queen

Date: Tuesday 12th March - Tuesday 19th March

Segment type: Climb

Participation raffle prize: BBB Arm Warmer
1 completion = 1 entry.

You don't need to set a new record, get the KOM/QOM, or even break your personal record, simply taking part and completing the target segment gains you an entry into the challenge.
Participating will enter you into a raffle, to qualify for an entry you will need to:
1. Join the 'Northern Ride' Strava club
2. Complete the Strava segment between the dates.
3. Add 'Northern Ride Challenge' to your ride title.

If you tag @northernride on Instagram with an image of your segment completion you will gain an additional raffle entry for this weeks prize.



Northern Ride Spring Challenge | Sunday 14th April 2024

Following the 'Reliability Ride' format, the Northern Ride Spring Challenge is a great way to test a cyclist’s reliability and also that of their bike coming out of the Winter period heading into Spring. The emphasis is on fitness, self-reliance, navigational skills and simply having fun on your bike.

The Northern Ride Spring Challenge is for all abilities. There is no organised start, with riders setting off when they choose and riding with whomever they choose. Following tradition, the route is not signposted but a basic route map or description may be provided, see below. Riders can then enjoy bike-riding banter over coffee and cake at the finish point in Malton Market Place at The Hidden Monkey Café. The Spring Challenge is a great way to meet and ride with new cyclists from different groups and clubs or to test your fitness against old rivals.

Date: Sunday 14th April 2024
Start Time: 09:00am
Start Place: Northern Ride, Malton Market Place, Malton, YO17 7LL
Finish Place: Northern Ride, Malton Market Place, Malton, YO17 7LL
