Our second annual Charity Sportive this year makes its Grand Depart from the Ossett Brewery Riverhead Tap at Marsden in the picturesque Holme Valley and is this year raising funds for our charity partners the Forget Me Not Children's Hospice and the Laura Crane Youth Cancer Trust.

The route passes through some of the most stunning and challenging scenery and sites in Yorkshire and part of the route takes in roads used by both the Tour de France and this year's Tour de Yorkshire; including the spectacular Col de Holme Moss.

Our supporting partners Ramsdens Solicitors, Ossett Brewery, Barclays and the Mid Yorkshire Chamber of Commerce will provide pre-ride snacks, a feed station at the mid point and warm food at the end of the ride.

At just under 60km; although not overly long the route takes in some breathtaking climbs and offers a genuine challenge to riders of all abilities.
