This Sunday’s ride will leave The Leggers Inn Dewsbury and head through Ossett, Horbury & Pugneys.
The return route will take in Lupset, Ossett, Gawthorpe and Earlesheaton before arriving back at The Leggers Inn.
Please be aware that there are quite a few hills along the way, however nobody will be left behind.

This Sunday’s ride will leave The Leggers Inn and take a tour through Ossett, Horbury and Wakefield passing through as many municipal parks as is reasonably possible. There’s even a steep descent thrown in for good measure. PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS RIDE IS OPEN TO ADULTS, 18+ ONLY. The Met Office forecast for 10:00 Sunday is currently suggesting white cloud, a temperature of 9°C and winds gusting to 17 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.

We will travel along a combination of public roads and greenways. There will also be a few hundred metres of canal towpath. We will encounter a reasonable amount of traffic on the public roads so riders need to be confident in those situations. Mountain bikes, hybrids with off-road tyres and gravel bikes should be ok on this ride.

There will be a toilet break at Pugneys. With the exception of short stops to re-group, or to take in points of interest along the route, there are no scheduled stops on this ride though we may call for coffee at one of the cafes in Ossett 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.

We never leave anyone behind
