Starting point




West Yorkshire
BD18 4DD

Familiar departure from Hirst Wood Locks and along past Baildon Station before hitting Otley Road. On this occasion however we will go across to join the canal and go as far as Rodley before exiting and heading south through Farsley and Bramley. We will skirt Pudsey and head towards Tong Village before going through Troydale and back towards Thornbury in Bradford.
Going past Morrison's HQ and Bradford Industrial Museum we will duck and dive through Eccleshill, Thorp Edge and Idle to reach the intriguingly named All Alone Road and on to Thackley Corner where we will take the quiet back road through Windhill to Shipley. A short walk along the pavement will enable us to avoid the busy traffic and get on to Dock Lane and the canal back to Hirst Wood.

Chance to finally get to Winnebagel Café in Pudsey via quiet roads and canal to the north and east of Bradford - apologies for the split infinitive

Mainly quiet suburban roads with some canal both on way out and back

Winnebagel Café in Pudsey which shuts at 2pm so not too long a ride.

Please wear helmet, suitable clothing, spare inner tube and card/cash

We never leave anyone behind
