Adrian Wright

Adrian worked as a Geography teacher for 25 years and has been riding in the Calder Valley for 30 years.

A few years ago Adrian created the Calder Divide Trail, the only bikepacking route in the world to connect tracks and lanes along the watershed of a single river.

Since then he has gone onto to create five more multi day routes:

- Source to Sea Trail: 730kms

- Headwaters Trail: 320kms

- Pennine 500: 508kms

- Dales Border Line: 275kms

- Seven Valleys: 162kms

Adrian creates the routes and does social media posts and on a Wednesday will be out riding with the Condor Rough Stuff group.

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 CDT we would love to hear from you. All sort of tasks such as registering riders, putting posters up, handing out badges and keeping the kettle going.

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.

Emily Bronte

Wuthering Heights (1847)

 

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

Bright Days (1944)

 

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.

Nan Shepherd

The Living Mountain (1977)
