East Riding Leisure Beverley will be hosting a fun-filled weekend to celebrate the Tour de Yorkshire visiting the town, between Friday 29 April and Sunday 1 May.
Events at the leisure centre will include:
• Free swimming for children (up to age 15) on Friday 29 April
• Tour de Yorkshire Challenge : all weekend, members will be able to total up the same amount of miles as the Tour de Yorkshire riders, either on the themed bikes that will be used on Friday 29 April as the race goes past the Centre, or on the bikes situated in the Tone Zone. A distance tracker at reception will show how the total is adding up.
• There will be a free month’s membership available to the member who cycles the most miles in the Tour de Yorkshire Challenge, within a maximum time of 30 minutes
• Members attending the RPM sessions from Friday 29 April – Sunday 1 May can enter a competition to see who can complete the most miles within a 45 minute RPM class. There will be a prize of one month’s free membership for the winning rider in the RPM Challenge.
• The Centre itself will be decorated in the blue and yellow of the Tour de Yorkshire.
Councillor Richard Burton, portfolio holder for civic wellbeing and culture, said :
“This weekend will be a great opportunity to celebrate the Tour de Yorkshire starting in Beverley, whilst having fun and keeping fit at the same time! There should be a great atmosphere in the town and at East Riding Leisure Beverley, and I look forward to seeing the mileage total add up!”
