The Bronte off road Bike Challenge

The Bronte Off Road Bike Challenge, organised by the Manorlands Cycling Events Fundraising Group and sponsored by All Terrain Cycles and Pure Lettings Specialists, is a popular event with routes suitable for all standards of mountain bike, gravel bike and cyclo-cross rider. We also welcome ebikes! This is the 18th event which was formally called the Bronte Mountain Bike Challenge. Thanks to the generosity of our sponsors at All Terrain Cycles and Pure Lettings Specialists, all entry fees go straight towards supporting Sue Ryder’s care in the local area. 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. All participants will receive a bespoke water bottle from Pure Lettings Specialists. As in previous years, there is a team entry for groups of four people in all the routes.
