Sowerby Bridge to Hebden Bridge and Back

This is a leisurely ride on the canal towpath from Sowerby Bridge to Hebden Bridge then back along the Route 66 cycle route into Sowerby Bridge. This is a flat easy route with only three small hills, two locks on the canal and one on the cycle path. There is a small road section on Route 66, the road is quiet and short. The ride is 10 miles.  Dress appropriately for the weather: several thin layers are best and a rain jacket could come in handy. Wearing a helmet is advisable, though not essential. The canal towpath and parts of the cycle route can get very muddy after heavy rain please bear this in mind when choosing what to wear for the ride. It is best to take a drink and a snack with you in case you need to refuel along the way.
