Rochdale Sportive

Now in its 7th year, this route is a fantastic example of the stunning road cycling on offer in the north of England. The natural contours of the land make for a hilly, challenging route that will reward riders for their winter efforts! The route loops over the picturesque Todmorden and Hebden Bridge, taking in the local moors – a great stretch of remote, panoramic riding. The challenging nature of the ride continues but will also provide some boasting rights amongst friends with a spin over Crag Vale – the longest continual climb in England and feature of the 2014 Tour de France! This ride is an excellent opportunity to blow away the January cobwebs whilst clocking up some mileage in the great British countryside.
