3 Cake ride from Ben Rhydding to Fewston

Join Judy and Anne on this hilly ride over Timble Moor. There are some long climbs included, so please check the route before signing up.

Leaving the station we head down to the A65, turning right then left onto Denton Lane, where we turn right and head up to Askwith. Turning left we start the steady climb up on to the top of the moor. From here it's a rolling drop to Swinsty and Fewston reservoirs, crossing the dam in search of our lunch stop. We leave and head for Bland Hill, skirt round Norwood edge then another climb up to Farnley before dropping down towards Otley. We leave Otley on the back road through Weston and Askwith and make our way back to the station at Ben Rhydding

You know the drill: Roadworthy Bike, bring your own kit for minor repairs to both your bike and yourself. This should include a spare inner tube of the correct size. Appropriate clothes for the conditions (layers are best), a helmet please if possible. Please bring a few pennies, or means of making contactless payments if needs be.

There may be an e-bike or two, but we still ride at the pace of the slowest, and no one will be left behind.
