Hope Valley Mountain Bike Challenge 2016

This coming Saturday Cub Scout Leader, Steve Garratt, will be taking part in the Hope Valley Mountain Bike Challenge. The event is an annual off-road technical ride which takes in some of the area’s most iconic trails and locations such as ‘The Beast’, Jaggers Clough, Edale, Jacobs Ladder, Hayfield, Rushup Edge, Hollins Cross and Mam Tor. 

The route is 28 miles with nearly 5,000 feet of climbing involved and will likely take over 5 hours to complete.

  1. Thank you everyone for your donations, I managed to complete the challenge in a little under 6 hours. I am hoping the final results will be posted to the HVMBC website soon. As of Monday morning I've managed to raise £200 and that is amazing. Thanks again to everyone.
