Mountain biking is very popular in the Rossendale area and there are lots of perfectly legal (Bridelways) places to ride offering something for everyone.Rossendale Harriers members combine running with cycling both on and off road and regularly compete in Time Trials Cyclo Cross and Enduro events such as the Merida 100s and the Polaris 2-day events.We are blessed with brilliant open spaces and great scenery so why not "get out and ride"
