Join us for a night ride to see the Knife Angel lit up in Centenary Square Bradford, a 27ft sculpture built using over 100,000 blades seized by the police, there is a memorial service taking place in Bradford Cathedral and Fountains Church for reflection and remembrance, hopefully we will hear some of this

Leaving the pool we head to the traffic lights turning right onto Main street then Bradford road, at the school we turn left on Wagon Lane and follow to Fisherman's pub, turn right and pick the towpath up, then its down to Saltaire/Shipley, turning right on to Dock Lane for a short road section to Leeds road, cross and onto the Shipley Greenway to Bradford, here we have another short road section into Centenary Square

We will stop at The Turls Green for coffee/hot chocolate and the usual natter

Returning back to Fisherman's pub on our in route, we will stay on the towpath coming off at Britannia Bridges, over and onto Ferncliffe road, up to the lights, turning right and back to the pool
