Three Peaks Bike and Hike

Yorkshire Dales

15-05-2010 to 15-05-2010

THREE PEAKS BIKE & HIKE is an exciting new event for a new decade. The event is set in the spectacular surroundings of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, famous for the "Yorkshire Three Peaks" of Pen y Gent, Whernside and Ingleborough. All these hills are part of the challenge, with teams cycling from one to the next using public roads, public footpaths or other rights of way. It's a serious team-building event that is designed to be challenging for dedicated event athletes, whilst at the same time being accessible to anyone who keeps in reasonable physical condition or who doesn't mind training to get in to shape. We expect the course record to be set in the region of 6 hours, but the average team is likely to finish in about 8 - 9 hours, whilst others will opt to enjoy their surroundings at a more leisurely pace, perhaps completing the course in 10 or 11 hours. Three Peaks Bike & Hike starts and finishes in the Dales' village of Ingleton, easily reached from Leeds or Bradford to the South East on the A65, or from the M6 to the West, again along the A65. The total event distance is approximately 80 kilometres (50 miles), broken down into stages. A minimum sponsorship fee of £1,600 raising funds for Action Medical Research.
