Welcome to the 2026 Ribble Valley Ride Cycle Sportive – organised by the Rotary Clubs of Accrington and Clitheroe
Thank you so much for supporting us. Events like this don’t just happen, but are the result of months of hard work, and we thank all those who have been involved in the organisation as well as the enthusiastic marshals and other assistants who will be out helping on the day of the event.

Our aim is to give you an enjoyable yet challenging day out with no fuss and no frills – three wonderful routes and hopefully a great atmosphere too. Having participated in many other sportives we think we know what cyclists want and hopefully this is what we will deliver!
RESULTS
While the Ribble Valley Ride is NOT A RACE, we know our regular riders like to see confirmation of their performance on the day. A comprehensive list of timings and results will be provided by our long-standing partner: SPORTident.
The link to results is:
