The Breeze up Norland

Starting from outside Sowerby Bridge Swimming Pool we will head along the towpath to West Vale before picking up Saddleworth Road. From there, the gradient increases gently as we leave the houses behind and head to the peace of Barkisland and Norland. After all the climbing, the road flattens out and we have a nice ride round the moor before the decent back to West Vale.

This is an all abilities ride, not about how fast we can ride, however due to the hills, please make sure you have the base fitness to progress to hills. We will make sure everyone is looked after, we can stop as many times as people need to rest and we will support anyone and everyone who turns up and wants to ride a bike.

There will be the option for a cuppa at a cafe in Sowerby Bridge at the end of the ride.

Please make sure you bring a bike, a helmet, gloves, a waterproof jacket, bike lights, a fully charged mobile phone, money and inner tube/pump.
