The Hardback Cafe at Shadwell Library

Join us for a sociable road ride around north east Leeds villages, some hills but nothing to challenging,

Leaving Cookridge we drop down Holt lane to Adel, we will head for Eccup Reservoir, crossing A61 to pick up the cycle path round the back of Leeds Grammar School, it has degraded in parts, skinny road tyres may struggle a little bit but the option is to walk the short section. Turning left onto Wigton lane to the T junction left onto Wike Ridge lane, right onto Tarn lane, right onto Brandon crescent, Bayhorse lane then right onto Main street and our lunch stop at the library

Leaving the cafe we head back to Adel via Alwoodley tackling Stair Foot lane, don't be put off its easier this way round, then up Holt lane to Cookridge. If you are not comfortable with Stairfoot lane we will head up King lane turning left onto Eccup lane and down to the church for those starting at Adel

Cafe stop: Hardback Cafe at Shadwell Library, it is CASH only, we do pass a cash machine en-route

Bike lock is a must, spare inner tube and pennies for lunch
