Join us for a Tuesday ride to the Hardback Cafe at Shadwell Library, some hills but nothing to challenging
Hardback Cafe at Shadwell Library, it is CASH only
Pace will be under 10 mph, ideal for those who wish to try road riding without the speed
Leaving Cookridge we drop down Holt lane to Adel and onto Eccup Reservoir, cross 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 through Shadwell, on Wigton lane we turn right onto Manor house lane and back around the back of the school and follow our way past Eccup Reservoir to to Cookridge
Bike lock is a must, spare inner tube and pennies for lunch
