Event overview
The Source to Sea Trail is an adventure by gravel bike or mountain bike into the heart of Yorkshire.
It is a circular route that connects the network of old tracks in the folds of the hills and on the moors where 10 of Yorkshire's finest rivers rise.

Along the way, the trail connects bridleways across the Yorkshire Dales, North York Moors, the northern edge of the Peak District and the South Pennines.
The trail is 75% 'off-road' with farmers double track across millstone grit, singletrack across limestone and greenways on canal towpaths and reclaimed railway lines.
It is the only bikepacking trail in the world that traces the watershed - the ridge of high ground - of a single large-scale basin where rivers such as the Aire, Calder, Derwent, Esk, Nidd, Swale, Wharf and Ure have their source and follows their flow to the sea.
It is a self-supported ride with an Event Hub in the Calder Valley and GPS trackers by ‘Follow My Challenge’.
I have fled my country and gone to the heather. Emily Bronte, Wuthering Heights (1847)
