The Bronte Off-Road Bike Challenge 2024, organised by the Manorlands Cycling Events Fundraising Group is a popular event with routes suitable for all standards of mountain bike and gravel bikes.
Thanks to the generosity of our sponsors at All Terrain Cycles and Pure Lettings, all entry fees go straight towards supporting Sue Ryder’s care. While there is no obligation to raise additional funds through sponsorship, those who raise £50 or more will be entered into a prize draw to win a mystery bike-related prize from our sponsors at All Terrain Cycles.
There are four routes to choose from:
Heathcliff route: 35.6 miles, 4,422 ft cumulative climb
Charlotte route: 26.4 miles, 3,422 ft cumulative climb
Emily route: 22.3 miles, 2,467 ft cumulative climb
Anne route: 13.9 miles, 1,910 ft cumulative climb
The Anne route is suitable for family and children who have ridden in this type of terrain and landscape before, although there are some sections where less experienced and fit riders might need to dismount. Under 16s must be accompanied by an adult.
As in previous years, there is a team entry for groups of four people in all the routes.
All routes start and finish at Haworth West End Cricket Club.
All participants will receive a bespoke Bronte MTB Challenge water bottle courtesy of our sponsor Pure Lettings, and a well-earned complimentary hot meal at the finish.
