You don’t have to be the next Bradley Wiggins, but you’ll need to know your way around a bike and be fairly fit to take part in our Challenging rides. If you’re comfortable riding with other people and fancy a fresh challenge, these rides are perfect for you. They start at around twenty miles long, and are paced at between 11 and 12 miles an hour.
This ride is a must for anybody wanting to stretch their legs on the bike and really soak in the amazing views on offer around the Calder Valley. The name of the ride gives you hint as to the nature of this ride but then again what ride in Yorkshire doesn’t take in a few hills! Starting in Skircoat Green we make our way up the valley to Mount Tabor before some lovely descents down in to Luddenden and up the other valley side towards Norland and beyond. From here we make our way to Scammonden and Stainland before heading back to the start point in Skircoat. There will be plenty of stops along the way to have a breather, grab some refreshments and most of all, to take in the views. That’s what bike ridings all about right!

A circular route from Hebden Bridge that is mostly off-road, making use of National Cycle Route 66 to Luddenden Foot and returning to Hebden Bridge on the Rochdale Canal. The route initially follows a former railway line to Mytholmroyd and then, after a short section of road, passes through the countryside to Luddenden Foot. The route back along the canal is popular with families and passes through a pleasant marina before returning to the park. The route is suitable for all types of bikes, but those with lightweight racing bikes may find the surface uneven in places.
