Hirst Lock to Five Rise Locks

Meeting at the Hirst Lock Car Park avoids the congested roads of Saltaire Following a quick bike check, this will be a gentle, social ride along the canal towpath, from Saltaire to Bingley 5 Rise Locks. There is a cafe at the top of the locks but the Half Moon Cafe in Roberts Park may also be open, so bring some money if you wish to make use of either of them. The total ride is about 6 miles and mainly flat, with riding time about an hour. It could well be cold and/or wet, so dress appropriately and note that although helmets are not compulsory for over 16s, they are recommended. The towpath can get very muddy after rain, so please bear this in mind when choosing what to wear for the ride ;-) If the path is icy, the ride will be cancelled. I would advise that you bring a drink and a snack for top ups along the way, also some money for refreshments when we stop. Newcomers to Breeze rides are very welcome. Dress appropriately for the weather: several thin layers are best and a rain jacket could come in handy. My number on the day is :- 07940 975 971 I look forward to you joining us.
