Challenge Rides – Sunday 28th June 2026
In Aid of Eden Valley Hospice
Centered on Langwathby Village Hall there are 3 courses to choose from. 50 km 100 km and 160 km(100miles). All the courses are along the Fellside and close to the Eden Valley. The two longer courses loop first N of Langwathby then S after a break for refreshment at the village hall.
All cyclists are welcome including e-bikes so choose the course that is best suited to you. Entry is £20 and £10 from each entry goes to Eden Valley Hospice. To enter please download the fillable registration form here to somewhere on your computer/phone then fill it in save it and send it to evchallenge24@gmail.com We hope also that you will seek sponsorship from friends and family and you can download a sponsor form here. Alternatively you can donate via the Just Giving page here.
We envisage that most entrants will expect to ride in their own groups with friends and we will provide you with a map and GPS route on line before the event. (These will be sent out within a week of the event in order that last minute diversions because of roadworks can be taken into account) but the essentials of the route are shown on the website here
A small number of Eden Valley club members will be happy to guide you round the courses. Please contact evchallenge24@gmail.com if you would like to ride in one of these led groups. They will be allocated very much on a first come…. basis
Refreshments: There will be drinks available at the start and something to pocket (banana/flapjack). On return to Langwathby there will be soup and an unfilled roll plus a tray bake. At the end after the second loop there will be crumble and custard. Please let us know on the registration form if you require Gluten Free or Vegetarian food. Although every attempt will be made to eliminate other allergens (there will be contents lists for most items) we cannot guarantee this.
Age Restrictions. You must be 18 yoa to participate in this event but under 18’s can participate if accompanied by an adult and provide a parental consent form available here, but this is only on the 50km ride.
