Blazing Saddles and Whoosh Mountain Biking invite you to join in the Calderdale Cycling Celebration on this guided MTB ride on Easter Monday.
Meeting at Blazing Saddles at 9:45 we’ll be riding a great local loop, making a stop for refreshments half way (don’t forget your pocket money!), and finishing with a couple of Hebden’s famous descents. Total distance will be around 10-12 miles.
We’ll be back around 1pm to allow plenty of time to refuel in any of the great cafes, pubs or restaurants in town ahead of the Duck Race at 3.
The pace will accommodate everyone who shows up and there’ll be a couple of chances to drop off early should you want to get back or you reach your limit…
Bring a working mountain bike, helmet and any spares you might need - anything else is up to you, but please dress for the weather on the day - Duck Race themed Fancy Dress is encouraged!!
