But you've got to come on the ICC bike ride in Harrogate to qualify for the quaffing on the BikeBiz tab.

The beer’s on BikeBiz!

The BikeBiz Industry Bike Ride takes place on Monday 27th May, straight after the show.

All are welcome. IBDs through to MDs. Marketing types through to journos.

The ride is out to the Joiners Arms in Hampsthwaite, just five miles north-west of Harrogate. There’s a longer route for dead-fit roadies.

The sedate ride is led by Gordan Maclay, Harrogate Borough Council’s cycle officer. A sag-waggon is laid on for those who develop mechanicals (or who can’t face the ride back to town).

Last year we got 35 or so industry figures out on their bikes on a warm and sunny June night. Let’s fill the pub this year (and max out the BikeBiz credit card in the process).

The Small Print: BikeBiz pays for the first drink only!
