Starting point




West Yorkshire
BD18 1BU

We will climb out of Shipley towards Wrose with a couple of short traffic free sections before turning back to Five Lane Ends. We head towards Undercliffe with another two traffic free sections before reaching Leeds Road at Thornbury and follow the Leeds Cycle Superhighway before turning through Farsley - home of BBC prog "The Sewing Bee" and on towards Swinnow where we turn back towards Pudsey and go through the Moravian Settlement of Fulneck before our lunch stop. We then cross Leeds Road and go up to Woodhall Hills with stunning views from the top before coasting down through Calverley. We will then take another traffic free/lite section to come out at Apperley Bridge from where we will take the quiet residential roads back to Dock Lane.

A figure of eight route that hopefully we will not have to foreshorten this time because of bad weather and it is a largely different route to the previous occasion.

Mainly on quietish urban roads with minimal main road exposure and will go on some dedicated cycle paths, some tracks plus traffic free tracks in Calverley.

Winnebagel Café in Pudsey and as it shuts at 2pm the ride is shortish.

Helmets please plus the usual inner tube and clothing for the forecast weather.

We never leave anyone behind
