This ride will take place on Wednesday 26th April. We will be meeting from 5.00pm at the Hope Technology Ltd car park, situated at the back of the factory, aiming to be riding by 5.30 pm

Everyone is welcome.

Helmets are mandatory and you must provide them yourself.

Nature of ride:

We will head out from the factory on main roads to start, leading us onto the Leeds Liverpool Canal tow path heading towards Foulridge. We will take on the Slipper Hill climb, plenty of spots to get our breath back though! Leading us onto a busy but short section of road and finally onto quiet lanes and the Pennine Bridleway to finish back at the factory.

We’ll be keeping everyone together as one group for this one, a social ride to catch up and get to know some unfamiliar faces.

The ride will involve a combinations of gravel tow path, tarmac and some bumpy sections of the Pennine Bridleway. The ride will be suitable for MTB, E Bikes and if you're happy with lumpy gravel gravel bikes also!

The ride will last between 1.5- 2hrs requiring a medium level of physical exertion. ~15km with 225m ascent.

The ride will be joined by Hope Technology representatives and Guides. The purpose of the ride is to guide the groups around the trails and not to coach riders.
