Starting point

BD18 4NQ

Car Park near Hirst Lock, Hirst Lane, Shipley,

This is a nice gentle ride mainly along the canal from Hirst Woods to Silsden. The ride will be mainly  traffic free, though we leave the canal at Bridge 194 and follow the Sustrans route along quiet roads into Silsden. We’ll always ride at the pace of the slowest rider so no one is left behind. We really welcome newcomers to our rides.  We may look for a canal side pub for our refreshments, though it may be advisable to bring some of your own - just in case. The more adventurous can take the '5 Rise Lock Hill' challenge or you can join me in pushing. Approx 18 miles round trip, but can be easily shortened if required. It's a good idea to bring some water and you may also want to bring a snack. Wearing a helmet is advisable; if you don’t have one please do not to worry you can still take part.  If you enjoy the bike ride and would like to come again perhaps you could look to buy one then.  Contact number on the day - 07940 975 971 Look forward to seeing you there! Don’t forget…. Breeze are on a mission to spread the word about their rides, and need your help. If you introduce one friendwho goes on to take part in a Breeze ride, you’ll receive a Breeze water bottle, introduce a second friend, you’ll be the proud owner of one of their swish Breeze Buffs, and introduce a third friend and Breeze will send you £15 of Love2Shop vouchers.
