Spen Greenway and Ringway

This Sunday’s ride will leave The Leggers Inn and head up the Spen Valley Greenway. When we reach Heckmondwyke on the outward journey we will cross over onto the Ringway until we reach Cleckheaton. We will then cut back onto the Greenway and continue up to Low Moor. The return journey will keep to the Spen Valley Greenway. The route is approximately 16 miles in total with a steady climb up to Low Moor and mainly downhill on the return journey.

We will travel along a combination of greenways and tarmac roads. We will encounter a reasonable amount of traffic on the tarmac sections so riders will need to be confident in those situations. Mountain bikes or hybrids with off-road tyres are more suited to this ride. Road tyres will struggle in places.

We will stop at Low Moor (the top of Spen Valley Greenway) for a brief rest before returning.

Helmets are compulsory on Kirklees Riders outings. Please bring a spare inner tube of the correct size for your tyre. Please remember to comply with the Covid restrictions in force on the day.

We especially welcome Newbies and never leave anyone behind.
