Etape du dales 8th June 2025

Brian G0RHI and Mike G7HEN are looking for operators for the Etape du dales on the 8th June 2025. Please let them know if you are available.

We have a new and exciting route for 2025, taking in a whole host of new climbs and challenges in the Yorkshire Dale National Park. The route will be 177km and have almost 3,600m of ascent, so very much in keeping with the previous challenging routes.

For those travelling from further afield to Horton-in-Ribblesdale (the start/finish location in The Yorkshire Dales), camping in the event field is available.
If you’re interested in helping and would like to know more, please contact  Mike or Brian

The Etape du Dales is a cyclosportive held each year, in the Yorkshire Dales in the UK. It was originally established as an alternative to the oversubscribed Fred Whitton Challenge; like the Fred Whitton, the Etape du Dales is a long day’s ride over steep hills, and the proceeds go to charity – the Dave Rayner fund.

It is ranked as one of the most popular and challenging sportives in the UK, covering 112 miles (180 km) with 11,500 feet (3,500 m) of climbing and is  considered one of the top ten rides in the UK.

  • Date Sun 8th Jun 2025
  • Organiser: Brian G0RHI & Mike G7HEN

Three Peaks Fell Race 26th April 2025

Keighley and Richmond RAYNET will be providing safety cover of the Three Peaks Fell Race on 26th April 2025.

Help Request for Yorkshire Three Peaks Fell Race – Saturday 26th April 2025
Each year Yorkshire RAYNET, in association with Keighley RAYNET, and many RAYNET volunteers from far and wide provide the safety radio communication for the Yorkshire Three Peaks Fell Race taking in the iconic peaks of Pen-y-Ghent, Whernside and Ingleborough, the original ‘Marathon with Mountains.’ 2025 is the 70th anniversary event, so in celebration this year sees the addition of a junior race and team relay to complement the 1000 strong field of runners in the main event. We normally operate with around 35 RAYNET volunteers across a variety of duties from fell topper, to valley checkpoint and a fleet of minibuses. To cover the additional few checkpoints and a fleet of 8 minibuses (normally 4) we could do with a handful of additional operators. For those travelling from further afield to Horton-in-Ribblesdale (the start/finish location in The Yorkshire Dales), camping in the event field is available
