Considered Yorkshire's "Must Do" sportive by many, this annual event has been run by volunteers and friends of Ilkley Cycling Club since 2012. The next edition of the event will be held on Sunday 6 July 2025. Registration for the event will open soon.
There are 3 routes to choose from:
- the 46 mile Short Route up to Grassington in the heart of the Dales,
- the demanding 84 mile Medium Route that goes into beautiful remote, less-traveled areas, and
- the hardy 120 mile Long Route for those looking for the ultimate sportive challenge.
ICC members are welcome to volunteer to help with hosting the event... or to ride it themselves.
Full event details can be found on the White Rose Classic website.
