Ribble Valley Ride raises £6,000 for Rosemere Cancer Centre and Rotary Club of Great Britain

This year, the ride returned to its usual date in June, with an easy 25-mile route, a challenging 60-mile route and the classic 100-mile route taking in some of the best hill climbs in Lancashire and Yorkshire.

Event organiser Bill Honeywell, who established the Ribble Valley Ride in 2015, said: “Everyone is welcome to get involved in the Ribble Valley Ride. It isn’t just for fitness enthusiasts and road racers – it’s a community ride raising important funds for local charities.

“We’d really like to turn the Ribble Valley Ride into a mass participation event and raise as much as possible for good causes and we can only do that thanks to the support of our sponsors, some generous donations and the goodwill of our small army of volunteers.

“I’d like to say a huge ‘thankyou’ to everyone who took part in this year’s ride – and to the sponsors, supporters and volunteers.. We’ll be back with a bigger and better event in 2024.”

The event is run along the same lines as a cycle sportive – but with several differences from the norm. It is not a commercial undertaking – it is

organized and run by the Rotary clubs of Accrington and Clitheroe and all surplus funds go to charity.

The 2024 Ribble Valley Ride will take place on Sunday, June 9th and further details are available at: https://ribblevalleyride.org/
