This Sunday’s ride will leave the Leggers Inn in a circular route which heads out towards Ossett but returns to Leggers via the Spen Valley Greenway. It is an interesting route that travels along roads we use regularly but not necessarily in this order. This is a very pleasant ride but please do not underestimate it. PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS RIDE IS OPEN TO ADULTS, 18+ ONLY. The Met Office forecast for 10:00 Sunday is currently suggesting sunny periods, a temperature of 11°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.

This Sunday we will be travelling along greenways and public roads. We will encounter a reasonable amount of traffic on those roads so riders will need to be fully confident in those situations. Mountain bikes, hybrids and gravel bikes are most suited to this ride.

With the exception of short stops to re-group, or to take in points of interest along the route, there are no scheduled breaks on this ride other than a toilet stop at Oakwell Hall. We may call for coffee at the Starbucks at Saville Town 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
