Meet at 5 rise locks at 9.30am.
NOTE EARLY START TIME
Join Anne and Barbara on this hilly ride mainly on the road on the way out and quite a bit of canal towpath on the way back.
Remember to wear appropriate warm clothes - and bring an extra layer as it may be needed when we stop at the cafe.
Also bring your own kit in case of any repairs ti yourself or to your bike!
The route
From 5 rise we take the towpath and then head uphill to East Morton. We then go more uphill and take the road to Silsden. Beautiful views along here.
It is very steep downhill to Silsden so ensure your brakes are in good order!
We then head uphill (again!), more beautiful views, and then downhill to Kildwick and our cafe stop by the canal.
On our return we will take the towpath to Silsden , then Hainsworh Rd to bypass some towpath, and then rejoin the canal til we reach low wood. Here we cross the golf course and ride through the cemetry and then through the industrial estate to join the old main road back to 5 rise.
PLEASE NOTE
As it is November we will keep an eye on the weather and temperature. If it is particularly cold/windy/wet etc we will adjust accordingly. So please keep an eye on the Bingley belles WhatsApp chat.
PS Cake is optional!!
