Railway Ride 50/100KM 20th April to aid BWLR with the restoration of Garforth station footbridge

2025 is the 200th anniversary of the first passenger train, it also marks the 50th year of BWLR.

To mark this occasion on Easter Sunday 20th April we are organising a fundraising cycle ride from the railway. The proceeds of this ride will go to the refurbishment of the listed Victorian Footbridge Bridge originally located at Garforth Station near Leeds.  It will be erected on the footpath over our line here at Bredgar.

There are two road routes and one off road route starting and ending back at BWLR for tea and cake.

All riders that booked before 27th March will receive commemorative ride vest, bacon roll at start and on completion tea or coffee and a slice of cake .

Advanced bookings are now closed however you can turn up on the day and pay for food and drink.  Sorry but vests are no longer available.  We do ask that you make a donation to the bridge restoration of at least £10.

The 100km road ride will set off from 08:00 and the 50km road and the off road will set off from 09:00

What we do

At Bredgar we have restored many long since abandoned industrial vehicles and machines to their former glory, some are better than original and now benefit from a new lease of life.
