Announcing our inaugural 48 hour charity mountain bike challenge

Extreme trails cycle challenge is a group set up by mountain bikers for mountain bike riders. As a group we organise and host mountain bike events to raise funds for local charities.

In 2016/17 we will be organising several events in support of the Yorkshire Children's Trust to enable them to continue their vital work in the yorkshire area.

Our next event is to be held over 48 hours on the 18th/19th June 2016. The event is a coast to coast challenge and will take us from St Bees on the West coast and finally finish at Robin Hood Bay on the East coast covering a total of 175.8 miles with a fantastic mix of on and off road action.
