Gearing up 4 Greenmount

Setting off from Leverhulme Park Leisure Centre, we head over to Greenmount via the Kirklees trail. The route will take in the flow and fauna of trails and off road country paths also following dedicated cyclepaths to Greenmount village.
The route is fairly flat and the terrain is a mix of tarmac, stoney, sandy surfaces and dirt tracks and some canal tow paths.
Off road tyres are recommended to make the ride more comfortable. A warm welcome will be received when we arrive at the Hub café at Greenmount.Please bring some pennies for your brew and snacks.
As always, please dress for the English weather and bring along a drink for the journey.
Please remember on any HRS rides, if you do not wear a suitable helmet, unfortunately you will not be able to join the ride.
Please bring along a spare inner tube, pump, lock etc but don't worry too much if you don't have the latter.
