A mass-participation ride has been launched to coincide with the Tour of Britain. Called the Yorkshire Tour Ride, it's a three-route ride open to all cyclists and will be run on August 28.

Through northern Britain's cycling heartlands, with classic climbs of Holme Moss and Snake Pass along the way.
Snake Pass Pedal - 80km (50 miles)

Ideal for beginners and those at the early stages of building up their cycling fitness, this is an easy drift through the dales and valleys of the Bradfield area on the endge of the Pennines.
