Event Summary

Event Overview

Welcome to the Ronde Van Calderdale 2022 event, we look forward to welcoming all new riders and all returning riders. Thank you for choosing the RVC as one of your 2022 events.

The RVC 2022 is a cobbled climb classic around the Calderdale and Kirklees districts with a great combination of  dramatic scenery, fast road sections and the added dimension of many different profiles of cobbled climbs. 

Our website www.rondevancalderdale.org offers a wealth of information about the event.

The 2022 event will feature two distance options providing all levels of ability with the opportunity to enjoy this unique event. For those looking to challenge the cobbles but not overdo it, make your turn at feed station 2, this takes you towards HQ and a 54+ mile distance, but dont be fooled, it takes most people over 4 hours. If you are feeling good and want the full experience then keep going at feed station 2 and put in the top loop. Your total distance will be about 74-75 miles and will see most people finish in about 5.5+ hours. The course record was broken last year at under 4 hours 20 mins.

Both ride distances test the skills, stamina and endurance of every rider entering, and its great to see so many riders coming back each year. The RVC volunteers are a team of decent folk all dedicated to cycling, ensuring you have a memorable day with great support and the funds raised are directly helping young riders at Kirklees Cycling Academy. We can now boast multiple Team GB riders and Mason Hollyman who is now with Israel Start Up Nation and rode the Tour of Britain in 2021.

The entry fee will include a fully signed route, three well stocked feed stations with plenty of choice and a big Yorkshire welcome.

Registration will be outside at HQ and whilst we have some changing and toilet facilities we will remain mindful of rider welfare and observe any guidance on health and safety at HQ and feed stations. We have over 200 on-site parking spaces available, and additional parking is available nearby. Many local riders are able to arrive on bikes given the central nature of the route in Calderdale and Kirklees. Catering options will be limited so please bring supplies for the start and end of your ride.

The event will have around 300 signs to keep people en-route, before and after each junction and we have new signs for the main 14 named climbs.

We look forward to greeting you on May 22nd and updating you via both the British Cycling email system, www.rondevancalderdale.org and via our Facebook page, Ronde Van Calderdale where you can request access and our moderators will ensure you can enjoy the banter and images of past rides and preparation tips for the next event.

See you soon - Happy safe cycling everyone.....

 

Please note, we do not offer refunds as the administration is a pain, we have allowed people to defer a place to a following year, or pass a place to a club mate etc with prior approval. This has worked so far as all funds go the club and everyone involved is a volunteer, giving their time as cyclists, for cyclists and we have up front costs for gifts, food and premises to pay for that we cannot get back either.

Our team of RVC volunteers look forward to welcoming you, supporting you and looking after you throughout the day.

A unique RVC gift and a bottle of RVC celebration ale will be provided to every rider on the day upon completion.
