From The Leggers Inn we will start out through Dewsbury to the Spen Greenway.
We will continue up the greenway until we reach the Oakenshaw turnoff and then head up Wyke Lane to the Velodrome. A couple of laps of the circuit may be taken if it is not already booked.
On the return leg we will head back down the Greenway to Cleckheaton where we will cut across to the Ringway and back to the Leggers Inn.
Please be aware that there are quite a few hills along the way however nobody will be left behind.

This week’s ride leaves The Leggers Inn and follows the Spen Greenway on the way out to Wyke Lane and the Wyke Velodrome. This is a very pleasant ride but there are hills along the way so please do not underestimate it. 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 15°C and winds gusting to 25 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 ride is along greenways and public 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. A toilet stop can be taken at the velodrome. 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
