The full itinerary for the Richmond Rocks Cycle Festival on Saturday has been announced.
The fun will start from 1pm once the peloton has left the Market Place but the riders will be gathering before setting off and the Tour de Yorkshire caravan will be in town from 11am so it will be worth arriving earlier.
Here are the details:

The Station
Richmond’s old Station building was refurbished some 10 years ago into a community hub comprising a cinema complex, gallery / exhibition area and includes a number of local artisan food producers.
They will be hosting the following activities on the day:
- Arthur Caygill Cycles will be here, who will be bringing a selection of bikes to view, including their newly designed RnB bike. Accompanying them will be Merida cycles, who will be bringing a selection of bikes to test ride.
- Stalls from Mad Hatter Tea and Richmond Brewing Co, plus our other independent food providers are open – Archer’s Ice Cream and The Angel’s Share Bakery.
- There will be a family-friendly tour of the building at 2.30pm. No need to book, just meet on the platform.
- Cycling enthusiast Maurice Bartle will be bringing a selection of vintage bikes, some of which are 100 years old, and will also be here himself to answer questions and impart his wealth of knowledge.

Looks great, judging from the amount of people who attend the annual Christmas Market in the town, this will be very popular, as people have been proved to like all the “ingredients” that are going to be there on Saturday. Well done.
