Please note that there is no space for car parking at the start. There are other car parks close by in Hebden Bridge, although there is pressure on space in this tourist town. Some of the car parks now only allow 3 or 4 hours parking. The car parks at Garden Street, Market Place, New Road, and Garden Square all offer unrestricted parking. If arriving by car, you could park outside town and ride in, but whatever you choose to do, please be sure to allow time to find a space and to get to the event HQ in plenty of time for the start.
