BACK WITH NEW ROUTES FOR 2024
This year's ride raises much-needed funds for various local charities, including the Rosemere Cancer Foundation. Ribble are once again proud to sponsor the event, and thanks to the collective efforts of all the main sponsors the entry fees remain unchanged from last year's edition.
The event will start and finish at Heidelberg Materials in Clitheroe, featuring 25-mile, 50-mile and 75-mile routes through the stunning Ribble Valley, Yorkshire Dales and Forest of Bowland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
No matter which route you choose; 25, 50 or 75, you are guaranteed views of some of the most picturesque landscapes the UK has to offer. The 25-mile route is a fabulous ride through idyllic, picture-postcard Ribble Valley scenery, while the 500mile 'expert' route is a tough, hilly ride through the upper extremeties of the Ribble Valley and into the Yorkshire Dales. The 75-mile 'elite' route goes even further, taking you through the Dales and over the calf-crushing climbs of the Bowland Fells.
