Over the Edge charity bike ride returns supporting us

On 22 May 2022, over 400 riders of all ages and experience levels will take on ‘Rochdale’s ultimate cycling challenge’ to raise money for us and another charity, Jolly Josh.

Organised by Rochdale Round Table, riders will embark on either the bronze, silver or gold routes. All routes begin from Littleborough RUFC at Hollingworth Lake, continuing up Blackstone Edge and through some of West Yorkshire and Lancashire’s most idyllic areas.

The bronze route is 22 miles – up Blackstone Edge, down Cragg Vale to Mytholmroyd, then on to Todmorden via Hebden Bridge before returning to Littleborough.

The silver route is 29 miles – up Blackstone Edge, past Baitings Dam towards Ripponden before turning off to Sowerby Bridge, then to Mytholmroyd, then on to Todmorden via Hebden Bridge before returning to Littleborough.

The gold route is 55 miles – up Blackstone Edge, past Baitings Dam towards Ripponden before turning off to Sowerby Bridge, then to Mytholmroyd, and then a big loop from Heptonstall, via Mereclough and Holmes Chapel to Todmorden, back via Hebden Bridge to Mytholmroyd and then a punishing climb up the long gradient through Cragg Vale before dropping back down Blackstone Edge to Littleborough.
