Pocklington Pedal Challenge Ride 30th April - can anyone help?

I am the organisers of the Pocklington Pedal Challenge Ride, I work for British Cycling in the North East of England, live in Stamford Bridge and am a member of Clifton Cycling Club which is one of the biggest cycling clubs in Yorkshire.
The event will take place on Saturday the 30th April starting & finishing at Woldgate College, there is a choice of 3 routes which weave around the Wolds the longest distance is 100 miles then 60 miles and a very short family ride.

In the first instance we want to make sure everyone in the area knows about the event we currently have 100 entries and hope this will double in the next few weeks. If you can help spread the word that would be most appreciated.

Secondly we are looking for support in delivering the event, if you have any members who could provide refreshments at the school, or food to stock the feed stations that would be fantatic, we will be buying suppliers and would prefer to use local businesses if possible.

Our shopping list consists of;

100 + bananas

100 + flapjacks or similar

100-200 litres of water

Feed stations on route (village halls, schools, pub car parks etc) anywhere we can get to a toilet/water supply and shelter for our helpers if it rains, likely places are FEED1 Kirby Grindalythe, Duggleby, Settringham, North Grimston, FEED 2 Sand Hutton/Stamford Bridge

Correx Event Signage

Outside catering at Woldgate, hot meal/hot sandwhich for each rider

Any other support or ideas would be welcome.

We would also like to get as many local people riding the event as possible some entries from works teams, sports teams, or just a gang of mates, any suggestions on how this could be achieved would be greatly appreciated, we may also be able to offer some discount packages to suppliers or supporters. If you could help distribute event flyers we have 100 set aside.
