The East Yorkshire cycle challenge was the idea of Winter Olympian Pat Howdle who is also taking part in the event.<\/p>\n
“It’s fantastic to see people turn out and support us. It’s amazing to think it started as a little ride and so many people have come together to support us and a great charity,” Howdle said.<\/p>\n
Veteran professional cyclist Richard Hardy and firefighters Dean Gregory, Michael Davis, Mark Lawson, Simon Turner and Lee Stephenson are all cycling 100 laps.<\/p>\n
Former Hull FC players Ewan Dowes, Garreth Carvell, Rich Wilson, Rob Danby, Leroy McKenzie, Jez Cassidy, Craig Jackson, and Andy Taylor, will also ride for five hours each.<\/p>\n
“We all said yes [to taking part] and then the realisation comes – that is a long way and it’s going to be a long day,” Schultz said.<\/p>\n
