From The Leggers Inn we will start out along the Ossett Greenway to Horbury before heading down Green Lane to Pugneys and then to Newmillerdam via Slack Lane and Wood Lane.
Please be aware that there are quite a few hills along the way however nobody will be left behind.

After leaving The Leggers Inn this ride travels along the traffic-free Ossett Greenway and then through Horbury and Pugneys before arriving at Newmillerdam. There is a short steep section on the Ossett Greenway but ‘short’ is the keyword. This is a very pleasant ride but there are hills along the way so please do not underestimate it. PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS RIDE IS OPEN TO ADULTS, 18+ ONLY. The Met Office forecast for 10:00 Sunday is currently suggesting white cloud, a temperature of 18°C and winds gusting to 24 mph. Please check the forecast for yourself on Sunday morning. Please be aware that this is not a guided ride and that each participant remains responsible for their own actions or omissions at all times.

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 are most suited to this ride.

There will be a toilet stop at Pugneys. With the exception of short stops to re-group, or to take in points of interest along the route, there are no other scheduled breaks on this ride though we may call for coffee at one of the cafes in Ossett on the way back to the Leggers Inn.
