As in the ten previous years, the event will start and finish in Clitheroe and this year we are pleased to announce three completely new routes. The three options will suit the full range of cyclists and their respective abilities.
All three routes explore the stunning and scenic Bowland area of Lancashire, which is designated as 'National Landscape'. All of the 2026 rides are on new routes with refreshment breaks strategically placed, and will once again, provide the much acclaimed choice of refreshments to include vegetarian and gluten-free options for those who have declared their choice on the entry form. All three routes pass through charming little villages and provide spectacular views.
All proceeds after expenses go to charity and as our principal beneficiary is a cancer charity, not only will riders enjoy themselves, but their efforts will benefit others less fortunate.
All registered entrants who participate in the event on the day will be entered into a prize draw to win one of three £1,000 prize vouchers (one for each distance) provided by Ribble.
Start & Finish: Heidelberg Materials, Ribblesdale Works, West Bradford Road, Clitheroe, BB7 4QF

70 Miles 0730 - 0830 £35
