And finally, thanks to all those many who put up bunting, designed wonderful artifacts to decorate the approaches to and the village itself and generally helped make 1 May a special day for all in the dale.

Hillside Message – Tour de Yorkshire

Well, it’s up! The message is revealed as ‘North York Moors’ and can be seen on the hillside at Greenbank off the Knott Road, although a better view can seen from Daleside Road (on the way to School Row and Hill Cottages). Or better still with a private helicopter!

Riding the Cote de Rosedale Abbey

There they go over to the moors riding the first stage of the Tour de Yorkshire photo by Ena Dent of Craven Farm. Gary Verity and a team of top cycling journos passed though the village today, testing the route and enjoying the new road surfaces. 

 

Tour Makers de Rosedale

Although we had no riders in the Tour de France, Rosedale was represented by Maggie Barraclough, Mike Hutton and Shirley Tyrell who  added to the sparkle and success of the Le Grand Depart by acting as Tour Makers over both Yorkshire stages.
