Women's Mills n Moors

Women's Mills n Moors is a women's gravel and mountain bike day from The Bike Shop in Halifax, with four routes that radiate out into the Calder Valley and each tell part of the story of the lives of women and girls across the mills and moors of West Yorkshire.

The riding runs from bumpy gravel to proper mountain bike climbs and descents on old tracks, over bridleways, forest trails, moorland singletrack, peat, greenways and the canal towpath. It is a personal challenge, not a race: there is no mass start and no waymarking, riders get every GPX and can choose or switch routes on the day, and there is tea and home-made cake at the shop before heading out, plus the option of a social group ride.
