Second year of Rumble 2 and after being eaten alive by the two Banks last time went back with many more hard miles in the legs - and got up both of the buggers, so well pleased with the ride. As last year everything brilliantly organised and cannot thank Bob Howden and his team highly enough for all of their efforts. Fully realise that 2012 might be a bit too busy for you but please please please do everything you can to put the Rumble on - I fancy a crack at the long 'un...

The Ryedale Rumble is a superb event that is exceptionally well organised and is a firm favourite on my annual cycling calendar. I've entered the event for the past 3 years and have been very impressed each time. The routes are challenging, particularly the 111 mile option with a selection of classic Yorkshire climbs combined with some nice quiet country roads. A big thanks to the team behind the event - your hard work is appreciated and I hope you manage to squeeze a Ryedale Rumble into the calendar for 2012!!

Great day out in wonderful countryside. Event Centre could not be bettered, organisation spot on, staff friendly & helpful. Course stimulating with plenty of hills to tax those weary legs.
Would be very dissappointed if event was not staged next year

This was the best event I have entered. The organisation and all the facilities were fantastic, the riders were friendly and encouraging as they overtook you!!! I travelled a long way for this event and it was my first visit to Yorkshire so for me, it was excellent. I said at the time I would never do it again but actually - I would. Ten out of ten from me. I hope it can run next year. Thank you to everyone who organised this event.

A great day out in a stunning area of the country. Organisation was excellent and all aspects of support needed were superb- from great cakes at feed stops to smiling volunteers encouraging you on! Long- route had plenty of challenging climbs so, coupled with the windy conditions, it was very rewarding to finish in a half-decent time!

Very friendly and professional organisation. Great location, scenery, traffic free, and a route (110mile) that is as challenging as any in this country. Top UK sportif.

A clear example of how an event should be run. Well done to all concerned.

A very friendly event, across stunningly scenic countryside, with a handfull of climbs that test the lungs. The support top notch; I live locally and can ride the routes anytime but I still pay for the experience because it's second to none.

Great event with excellent organisation. Rumble 1 is a serious challenge, with a number of climbs over 30% grade in its 111 miles, but the great scenery takes your mind off the pain in your legs (but not fully!). Good feeds, with additional water stops too. Free food before and after the event. Highly recommended
