Kirklees Riders-The Leggers Inn To Pugneys, Painthorpe & Newmillerdam.

From The Leggers Inn we will start out along the Ossett Greenway to Horbury before heading down Green Lane to Pugneys.
There is a short steep section on the Ossett Greenway but ‘short’ is the keyword.
From Pugneys we will follow Slack Lane to Painthorpe and then Newmillerdam before returning through Horbury and Ossett.
Please be aware that while this isn’t a demanding ride there are hills along the route.

After leaving The Leggers Inn this ride travels along the traffic-free Ossett Greenway and then through Horbury, Green Lane, Pugneys, Painthorpe and Newmillerdam. There are gradients along the way so be prepared to be challenged on occasions.

We will travel along a combination of greenways and tarmac roads. We will encounter a reasonable amount of traffic on the road sections so riders will need to be confident in those situations. Mountain bikes, hybrids and gravel bikes should be ok on this ride, though there is a short section along a canal bank.

There will be a toilet stop at Pugneys on the way out, maybe a coffee stop on the way back.

Helmets are mandatory on all Kirklees Riders outings. Please bring a spare inner tube suitable for the tyres on the bike you are riding. Please note that parking charge notices have been installed within the Leggers Inn car park though they are not yet in operation. Check that this is still the case if you arrive by car. I would also remind you that this is not a guided ride and that each participant remains responsible for their own actions or omissions at all times.

We never leave anyone behind
