The first of the public events was officially opened by serving mayor of Ripon, Eamon Parkin on Saturday 29th June 2019.
The event proved to be extremely popular with the Ripon community, with residents racking up countless miles on three Watt bikes.

The summer of events cumulated with a large stunt show on Ripon Market Square, followed by an interschool competition where year 6 pupils battled it out on Watt bikes to secure bragging rights for their school.
