Tour de Yorkshire is coming so why not get into the spirit with one of our ‘Get ready for TdY’ themed rides in April, where we take on the iconic Cragg Vale climb. We will be tackling it at a steady pace (not more than 10mph average for the whole route).
We will ride along quiet country lanes enjoying views over Calderdale and after tackling the short but appropriately named Steep Lane, we can stop off at Craggies cafe for a snack. Then we will take on the least steep part of the Cragg Vale climb from half way up to the top of the Pennines at Blackstone Edge, with fantastic views over the moors. From there it's an easy descent back to the start.
Don't forget to bring some change for the cafe and a spare inner tube, just in case!
