Evans Cycles Rochdale MTB

RIDE IT is a series of non-competitive cycle events taking place across the country and aimed at riders of all abilities. At every ride you’ll find a choice of fully waymarked routes, well stocked feed stations sponsored by High 5 Sports Nutrition, mechanical and sweeper van support if things go wrong, electronic chip timing to record your ride and a finishers medal waiting for you at the end.

Now an established fixture on the RIDE IT calendar, this ride is a favourite amongst staff, most of whom are mad for a day of challenging off-road trails in the depths of winter! Regardless of the time of year, the trails tend to stay firm whatever the month, allowing a good pace and chance to enjoy some exhilarating descents. This being the first run of the 2019 RIDE IT season, it is the perfect opportunity to dust off the cobwebs and start the season in style. The route heads north to the stunning Watergrove Reservoir, before heading towards Todmorden on an absolutely breath-taking remote trail. Rough Hill awaits before a spin through Hades and final push back to base. This ride is full of epic climbs and challenging terrain, but the incredible scenery, phenomenal trail-riding and adrenaline filled descents make it all worth it. The route also now features a ride along the ancient Pennine Way.
