Join us for a leisurely ride along the Leeds to Liverpool canal towpath, from Saltaire to East Riddlesden Hall. This rides starts in the centre of Saltaire and then heads west along the towpath, past the famous Bingley Five Rise Locks and on to the 17th century manor house East Riddlesden Hall.  Most of the journey is on the traffic free towpath, with only a short section of quiet road to get to the canal.  The towpath is a good surface to cycle on but it isn’t tarmac, so we’d recommend that your bike has tyres with some tread on them rather than slick tyres.  What to bring with you? Bring some water and some food if you think you’ll want a snack en route. We’ll make a café stop either during the ride (there’s a couple to choose from) or at the end so bring some money if you want to purchase food and drink. It is useful to carry a spare inner tube that fits your bike. It isn’t essential to wear a cycle helmet but we strongly recommend that you do.  If you’re new to Breeze this would be a great opportunity to come along and meet some of the regular Breeze riders, and if you are a regular on these rides, it will be great to see you again.
