Speaking at the venue, Greg Mulholland said:
"I really enjoyed the ride, it was great to take part with the other cyclists, and once again appreciate the environment that we live in.
It was great to be able to show my support for Cycle Week; cycling is a great way of improving physical fitness while helping the environment and as many people as possible should be encouraged to take it up.
Groups like Otley Cycling Club provide a wonderful opportunity for people to come together in the community"
Mr Hodgson of Otley Cycle Club added:
"I am greatly encouraged and grateful for the support we have received from Greg and the people here tonight."
