Starting point

HX6 2EA

Happy Days Cycle Cafe, Sowerby Bridge

Taking advantage of quieter roads on a Sunday morning, we will head from Happy Days Cafe through Copley on the towpath, before joining the main road to West Vale. From there we will venture up Saddleworth Road to Buckstones at the very top of the hill. There is more climbing that the other rides (1800ft) I lead but the view from Buckstones makes up for it. And remember, you get a lovely long downhill ride home via Stainland :) This ride is perfect for those who have been on my shorter rides and want to test their legs on a longer rides, with longer hills. The pace will be steady, we will go as fast as the slowest rider and stop for breather should you need it - the aim is to increase your confidence on hills not destroy you! You will be rewarded with fantastic views and we can have a post-ride coffee and cake at Happy Days Cafe. I look forward to seeing you there. Any questions please get in touch with Corinne on 07960425303
