The Brian Robinson Challenge Ride - in 2015 it's on Sunday 26th April. Starts from Huddersfield.
This is a challenging 70 mile cycle route which offers riders the opportunity to take in some of the countries most iconic climbs, including Holme Moss.
The ride is named after Britain’s first Tour de France stage winner who has an impressive list of cycling achievements. Brian has also played a major role in bringing the Tour de France to Yorkshire and it is no surprise that sections of this ride featured on the Tour route.
Entry fee is £27.00 - but the money from this goes to charity.
I've got to add my own bias here: the organiser's in my club, Ravensthorpe Cycling Club, as is Brian.
