Marking out the route on four-day challenge
The group, led by the vicar Rev Mike Leigh, will set off from St Mark’s, Newby, on Sunday 6 May and will visit Marske-by-the-Sea; South Thornaby; Rawcliffe (York); Anlaby Common (Hull); Bellfield (Sutton-on-Hull); and Bessingby (Bridlington).
The group will get back to Scarborough on Wednesday 9 May.
The ride follows the success of last year’s Coast to Coast three day bike ride which raised more than £12,000 towards a new church roof. The group enjoyed the experience so much they decided to take on another cycling challenge.

Rev Leigh said: “It’s going to be great fun and for two great causes. As a church we have supported Christian Aid for many years and the new annex will provide a new community meeting room, a community cafe and other facilities. Any donations will be very gratefully received.”
