Ride the Trails. Conquer the Hills. Support Pendleside Hospice.
Back by very popular demand, the Mountain Bike Challenge is returning for 2025! After last year’s incredible turnout, we’re ready to take it up a gear.
Join us for an unforgettable ride through the stunning bridleways of Pendle, soaking up breathtaking views, passing through historic villages, and raising vital funds for Pendleside Hospice.
Choose from One of Three Routes
Dare to take on one of our thrilling trails - each named after the legendary Pendle witches:

| Chattox | 22 miles | £15 / £12 | Min age 14 (must ride with adult) |
