Join us for a ride to Bolton Abbey via Swartha and Addingham, a change of plan as the weather up Malham is showing rain all day. It is showing rain for Bolton Abbey, this is a shorter and a local ride, apologies for lateness, lets ride website was down last night

Leaving the 5 rises we head down to Silsden on the canal, coming off and over Brunthwaite Bridge we head up Swartha, onto Brown Bank lane for another climb, then its down to Addingham, throwing a curveball, we head over the suspension bridge coming out on the Nesfield to Beamsley road, coming out on A59, from here its onto Cavendish pavilion for our coffee stop
