Mills n Moors 2024
The rides on the 'Mills n Moors Series' are a personal challenge. They are not races, there is no ‘mass start' and the route is NOT way marked. For specific event details see the following links or go to our website:
- Calder Valley (Blazing Saddles) - 21st April
- Pen y Ghent (3 Peaks Cycle Cafe) - 19th May
- Ribblehead (3 Peaks Cycle Cafe) - 23rd June
Maps and a description of the routes together with the location of the starting line can be found on the Yorkshire Divide website: https://yorkshiredivide.co.uk/mills-n-moors-series
The routes use bridleways and tracks of gravel, peat and stone and whilst they are challenging, as we cross large areas of cross open moorland and there is no rescue vehicle, they are NOT techy enduro or downhill mtb style routes.
Meet us at the start line between 8.30am-10am for a cup of tea / coffee and pick up your embroidered cloth badge and head off. There is no ‘mass start’.
The group social ride departs at 10.10am. If you aren’t 100% confident about following a gpx route file or just want to ride with a bunch of other folk on a bike then join us. There is no fixed speed we cycle at. We will be stopping and waiting for each other and we can take turns opening the many gates!
Any one of the following bikes would get you around the route: Gravel bike / Cyclocross bike / Mountain bike / E-bike. The terrain is not suitable for road bikes.
