volunteers

Kate and Richard came to the first Calder Divide event in 2022.

They loved it so much that they returned as volunteers. Without their help and support we would have struggled to make the event the success it was.

If you would like to help out in the running of the Pennine 500 event on 29th May - 2nd June or the Calder Divide Trail on 18th- 19th September 2027 we would love to hear from you. There are all sort of tasks such as registering riders, putting posters up, handing out badges and keeping the kettle going.

Volunteering could be for just a few hours on Saturday morning, an overnight at the event campsite or at the finish line for a few hours.

INspirational bit

 

Ride as much or as little, as long or as short as you feel. But ride

Eddy Merckx

 

You either love spinning the pedals and watching scenery whiz by, or you don’t. And if you love it, not much can sour you on the idea of riding your bike.

Keith Mills

 

I have fled my country and gone to the heather.

And the moors were always there and never without their promise.

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.
