Kirklees Riders - The Leggers Inn to Gawthorpe, Soothill, Gomersall & Greenways.

From The Leggers Inn we will start out up the Ossett Greenway but turn off at Pildacre to go through Gawthorpe.
From there we will travel through Soothill, Birstall, Gomersall and Cleckheaton before joining the Spen Valley Ringway.
At Heckmondwyke we cut across to the Spen Valley Greenway and return to The Leggers Inn.
At this distance the Met Office weather forecast for 10:00 on Sunday is suggesting sunny periods with temps of 16°C. The wind could be gusting up to 35 mph.
Please check the forecast for yourselves on Sunday morning.

This week’s ride leaves The Leggers Inn in a circular route which heads out towards Ossett but returns to Leggers via the Spen Valley Greenway. We were scheduled to do this ride last week but decided to put it back a week. It is an interesting route that travels along roads we use regularly but not necessarily in this order. The ride does have hills along the way but that is one of the benefits of riding in West Yorkshire.

This ride is along greenways and public roads. We look to utilise quieter roads where possible but there are busy sections and road junctions along the way. All riders must be experienced and confident in those situations.

With the exception of short stops to re-group, or to take in points of interest along the route, there are no scheduled breaks on this ride other than a toilet stop at Oakwell Hall.

Helmets are mandatory on all Kirklees Riders outings. Please bring a spare inner tube suitable for the tyres on the bike you are riding. I would remind all riders that this is not a guided ride and each participant remains responsible for their own actions or omissions at all times.

We never leave anyone behind
