Entries are are now being encouraged for the 14th annual Colne Valley Mountain Bike Challenge, taking place this year on Sunday 14th May 2017 at 9.00am.
The FULL course is a challenging one (as you'd expect) and consists of approx. 30 miles of local paths, tracks, bridleways and lanes around the picturesque Colne Valley area of Huddersfield - regularly featured on TV as settings for Jericho, Last Of The Summer Wine and Where The Heart Is. We also now have an optional SHORTER course OF 20 miles for chubbers, the elderly and/or infirm, and the terminally inept.
**** We also now welcome FULLY LEGAL, REGULATED eBikes on both routes too ****
The cost of entry is £17 pre-booked (entry forms available at http://www.cvmbc.co.uk ) and £22 on the day - although we do encourage pre-booking as it greatly assists the organisation of the event.
All participants will receive a free commemorative T-Shirt and certificate upon completion. The course will be fully marshalled throughout and will have 4 refreshment stops at designated points. There will also be a back-up vehicle available for anyone who wishes to (or is forced to!!) retire early.
Bacon Butties will be on sale beforehand at a nominal £1.00 each, but apart from these EVERYTHING ELSE refreshment wise (soup, bread, bananas, flap-jack, biscuits, coffee, tea etc etc) is FREE. Yes FREE. There is also a brilliant little pub - The Walkers Arms - situated on site, so those that wish to can partake of a pint (or two) if so desired.
So, to sum it up - it's a 30 mile (or 20 mile) challenging MTB ride, fully marshalled, fully 'catered' and absolutely FANTASTIC VALUE, with a pub on site to finish the day off as well. You won't find a better day out in this area on the 14th May. Come and give it a go - you've nothing to lose and we're absolutely certain that you'll be well looked after and have a great time.
