Spen Valley to Newmillers Dam and Back

This a 35 mile cycle ride from Spen Valley Greenway to Newmillers Dam and back, taking the scenic cycle route. Approx 85-90% of this ride is traffic free converted railways and cycle paths. There a couple of hills, but nothing to worry about. The route is suitable for road bikes and we aim to have an average speed of approx 9-10mph (remember this is only an average, no-one will be left behind). It will be a 10.30 am start and we plan to have lunch at the cafe opposite Newmillers Dam (the cheaper one) so bring along some money if you plan on eating. IA rough estimate for arriving at the cafe is 12.30 (an hourish) for lunch and setting off back at approx 1.30 and arriving back in Oakenshaw at 3.30pm It is possible to join/leave this route at a variety of places to shorten it if required, contact us for more details. If you want you could just go one way and be collected at Newmillers Dam or even start there and cycle back with us. Could you please let one of us know prior to the ride if you intend to join us at a specific point or go one way.
