Sowerby Bridge to Boothwood Circular

Starting in Sowerby Bridge we will ride to West Vale and then turn up towards Barkisland, a long gentle climb takes you to ring stone reservoir were will then turn down to boothwood reservoir and drop down to Ripponden and then back into Sowerby Bridge. The route is 15 miles and is for road bikes as the route is completely on road. It is a good idea to bring some water, snack to keep you going. Wearing a helmet is advisable as we’ll be on the road. We really welcome newcomers to our rides; we will always ride at the pace of the slowest rider so no one is left behind but it is recommended that you have a base level of fitness as there is a long but gentle climb to tackle. Meeting at the Temujin restaurant there are several other rides also going out at the same time and for £5.00 you can place an order with Temujin and they will cook a stir fry for us when we return at 8.30. Aim to be there at 6.30 to get ready and place your food order and we will set off at 7.00.
