This ride leaves The Leggers Inn and takes the Spen Greenway before turning off at Oakenshaw to head up to Low Moor.
We will pass the Harold Club and the mill wheel and enjoy the ride through Harold Park before re-joining the Spen Green for the return journey.
Please be aware that there are quite a few hills along the way however nobody will be left behind.

This ride will head up the Spen Greenway and take a turn around Harold Park. The park is another half mile beyond Harold Club and the large mill wheel at Low Moor. It is a pleasant area and is criss-crossed with cycle routes. PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS RIDE IS OPEN TO ADULTS, 18+ ONLY. The Met Office forecast for 10:00 Sunday is currently suggesting sunny periods, a temperature of 17°C and winds gusting to 31 mph. Please check the forecast for yourself on Sunday morning. Please be aware that this is not a guided ride and that each participant remains responsible for their own actions or omissions at all times.

This Sunday we will be travelling along greenways and tarmac roads. We will encounter a reasonable amount of traffic on those roads so riders will need to be fully confident in those situations. Mountain bikes, hybrids and gravel bikes are most suited to this ride.

With the exception of short stops to re-group, or to take in points of interest along the route, there are no scheduled breaks on this ride. We may call for coffee at the Starbucks at Saville Town on the way back to the Leggers Inn.

Helmets are mandatory on all Heavy Woollen Wheelers rides. Please bring a spare inner tube suitable for the tyres on the bike you are riding.

We never leave anyone behind
