Starting point

LS13 1HT

Swing Bridge over canal (parking available on Canal Road, adjacent to the Rodley Barge pub)

A fairly steady ride along the canal towpath from Rodley Swing Bridge to Bingley Five Rise Locks (via Saltaire World Heritage site) and back again. The route takes in some of the most spectacular scenery on the Aire Valley towpath - ideal for those wishing to go a little bit further on a level (ish), traffic-free route at a pace that matches all riders abilities - no-one gets left behind!

We can stop half way for refreshments at the Five Rise Locks cafe (where your challenge, should you choose to accept it, is to cycle up the short, sharp hill beside the locks!), then once rested and refuelled we'll retrace our route back along the towpath to Rodley.

Dress appropriately for the weather conditions and don't forget to bring a bike pump, puncture kit and/or spare inner tube in case of flat tyres!
