Kirklees - Dewsbury - Discover the Spen Valley & Dewsbury Country Park - 10 miler

If you're fairly confident on your bike and ready to broaden your cycling horizons, our Steady rides are ideal. At a comfortable pace, and possibly with some modest hills along the way, rides take place on mainly quiet roads with plenty of sights along the way. Rides are between 6 and 20 miles long, at a moderate pace of between 7 and 10 miles an hour. Starting from Crow Nest Park Cafe in Dewsbury we quickly hit the traffic free joys of the Spen Valley Greenway. From here we can meander our way gently along enjoying the views all the way to Cleckheaton. We take an alternative route on the way back making use of another traffic free track to show you just how much great easy cycling there is in your local area. You really will be surprised just how far you can cycle on the Spen Valley Greenway and if you enjoy this ride there's plenty more Greenways to ride in the local area! This ride uses part of National Cycle Network (NCN) route 66.
