Event overview
The focus of the Ribble Valley Ride is on an enjoyable relaxed ride in good company, raisesing much-needed funds for our charities including the Rosemere Cancer Foundation. In 2025 we have three all-new routes: 25, 50 and 70 miles... and as always, fantastic home-made cakes and sandwiches at our food stations.
Starting from event HQ in Clitheroe, the 50 and 70-mile routes head up the valley before climbing into the uplands of the Forest of Bowland for some testing ascents then returning to the start point on the more undulating roads of the Ribble Valley for a glorious final stretch back to Clitheroe.
The 25-mile route is an altogether more relaxed affair, visiting the picturesque villages of the Ribble Valley along a leisurely, gently undulating route with the occasional longer climb.
