Returning by popular demand the 10th Hope Valley Mountain Bike Challenge takes place on Saturday 25 September 2010.

The event offers two routes, 20 miles and 38 miles around the Hope Valley. The longer route offers a technical challenge and takes in Jaggers Clough, Edale and Jacobs Ladder to Hayfield returning via Rushup Edge and takes in Hollins Cross (Mam Tor) on the way back.

For a shorter day you can return from Edale still taking in some of the most beautiful scenery in the Peak District. Refreshments will be provided at three checkpoints along the route with, at the finish, hot soup. 

The last event raised over £2,500 and donations were made to two local schools as well as Edale Mountain Rescue. In 2010 donations will be made to Hope Valley College (where the event takes place) Edale Mountain Rescue Team and proceeds will be given to maintaining the bridleways.

Check-in and car parking takes place at Hope Valley College. More info at www.hvmbc.co.uk
