One of the UK’s ultimate mountain bike challenges.

Over three brutal, beautiful days, riders cover 200 gnarly miles of cross-country trails cutting through the wild heart of the Lake District, the rolling drama of the Yorkshire Dales, and the vast, rugged expanse of the North Yorkshire Moors. It’s big climbs, fast descents, aching legs and jaw-dropping scenery in equal measure. This collection represents grit, endurance and some of the finest riding the UK has to offer.
