ABOUT

The Pennine Bridleway Double is a 190 mile self-supported mountain bike time-trail route through the Peak District National Park and the Yorkshire Dales. The route runs from Middleton Top, up the Pennine Bridleway to Summit. Here it joins the Mary Towneley Loop clockwise back to Summit, then returning to Middleton Top.

 

There is no entry fee, no support, and no prizes. It is a self-timed Individual Time Trial (ITT) that can be challenged at any time. All that is provided is the inspiration, the official National Trail Pennine Bridleway website and a list of completion times. The route is established, mapped and well marked.
