Event Hubs

In each of the three event hubs there is tea or coffee and home made cake from 7.30am to get you fueled up.

The hub on Saturday is Mytholmroyd Community Centre, on Sunday it is 3 Peaks Cycles Cafe in Settle and on Monday it is Half n Half bar in Sedbergh.

After your ride you are welcome to use the facilities at the event hub as an ordinary member of the public.

Note:  Mytholmroyd Community Centre has the bonus of hot showers which riders are welcome to use whereas the facilities at the two other venues are limited to decent toilets.

GPX file 

The field tested gpx files for each event will be sent to your email address a week prior to the event. 

Starting line

There is no mass start and no timing of your ride. The start line will be marked by Yorkshire Divide flags at the front of each venue. 

Parking

your vehicle can be parked at Mytholmroyd Community Centre for the duration of event 1 from Friday through to the Sunday morning. Parking in Settle on Sunday and Sedbergh on Monday is at the numerous car parks dotted around the towns.

Camper vans

Bonus that you can park you van at Mytholmroyd Community Centre on Friday night prior to Calder Skyline and on Saturday night before travelling early Sunday morning up to Settle for the Ribblehead Skyline.  Make sure you register your vehicle at the MYCC desk to avoid the parking charges.

Railway

Mytholmroyd is on the train line between Leeds and Manchester and Settle is served by trains but Sedbergh does not have a train station.  The nearest station to Sedbergh is Dent which is on the train line from Settle and then a short and pleasant 45 minute ride down from the station and along Dentdale.  Its a bit harder on the return because Dent station is one of the highest in the country!!

Badge 

All riders receive a Pennine Skyline embroidered cloth badge as well as bike stickers for each of the three Skylines - Calder, Ribblehead and Howgills.

“Water, that strong white stuff, can here be seen at its origins. It wells from the rock, and flows away. For unnumbered years it has welled from the rock and flowed away. It does nothing, absolutely nothing, but be itself.”
