At 40 miles, our Reservoir Rush route gives you a perfectly bite sized slice of the action. Quiet back roads, challenging climbs, thrilling descents and epic Yorkshire scenery that will see you grinning all the way back to base. This route is open to riders 12+

Our classic 80 mile Reservoir Romp gives you that 'Golidlocks' distance taking you right into the heart of three peaks territory. It may get a bit salty on the fearsome switchbacks of Langcliffe Scar but then its the oh so sweet descent of majestic Malham Cove and pleasant rolling miles back to base. Just right. This route is open to riders 16+

Still not enough? Then you need our headline Reservoir Rogue route. 111 miles of pure Yorkshire awesomeness with more climbs than you can shake a gel covered stick at including 4 of The Official 100 Greatest this is a BIG day out in the Dales. Superlatives don't suffice. Go on, get involved and give it a punt, be a rogue... This route is open to riders 18+

Delivered in partnership with alba Rosa and Valley Striders Cycling Clubs you can expect a great Yorkshire day out
