Tim's Thorp Arch via Boston Spa

Join us for a ride to Tim's Cafe at Thorp Arch, its a greasy spoon but you won't be disappointed

Leaving the car park we turn out left onto Arthington lane heading up past King lane we turn right onto Black Hill lane to the junction, left onto Eccup lane then drop down to Weardley, joining Otley road to Harewood Bridge (this can be a busy stretch of road), left over the bridge for a mile on A61 turning right onto Swindon lane, then another right onto Spring lane and onto Kearby, Netherby, Chapel Hill, Clapgate, Sicklinghall, Linton and Collingham, where we nip round the back of the shops picking up Jewitt lane and up to Thorner lane where we turn left and onto Bramham over the A1M, then its onto Clifford, Boston Spa and Thorp Arch where we join the cycle path into the estate for our lunch break
