We were gutted not to run the event during the pandemic years but we’re super excited to be back again this spring. We’ve pushed the ride back to May so they’ll be no snow this year but we may have sunshine!

There are descriptions, elevations and profiles of the three routes – and the official cheeky shortcut

The West Riding Classic starts and finishes at Clapham Village Hall and there are three routes to choose from: Short (30 miles), Long (60 miles) and Extra Long (70 miles). And there is plenty of climbing – 2000 metres of vertical ascent on the extra long route – as the route navigates each of the famous three peaks Ingleborough, Penyghent and Whernside.

The West Riding Classic also supports three great causes, Cave Rescue Organisation, Goma Cycling Clubs and IWGB.
