Mills n Moors - Hebden Bridge

Join us as we head to Waterstalls Ridge, a long, flowing green lane in the Upper Calder Valley, and beyond to enjoy the best local tracks in the South Pennines.

This is the second event of the Mills n Moors Series where we connect tracks and green lanes that radiate across the moors and valley slopes of the South Pennines like green spokes from a hub.

Blazing Saddles an independent bike shop in Hebden Bridge is the event hub where riders register 

GRVL ROUTES: 45km or 70km

MTB ROUTES: 38km or 50km

EPIC ROUTE: 90km

Gravel bikes, e-bikes, mtbs, cross-bikes are welcome to try any of the routes but note the mtb routes are chosen for the steep descents!

There was an option till October to sign onto the Mills n Moors Series with three events and 47 riders took this option and are on the Series in addition to day riders who sign on here.
