A gentle ride from Riddlesden along the Leeds/Liverpool Canal Tow Path at approx 8 mph. Stopping in Saltaire for a coffee if the group would like to (bring a lock!). It's the day of the Dragon Boat Race so there'll be plenty to do and see in Saltaire and I suggest we lock our bikes up and have a wander around if it's not too busy. I expect it to take us an hour to ride each way. We'll go at a gentle pace and no-one will get left behind. This is aimed at people new to cycling (but know how to ride a bike) or those who are competent riders but fancy meeting some other cyclists in their area for a very social ride.
