Ride like Billie tribute ride - Coffee and cake at Cavendish

Today we are celebrating Billie Fleming's birthday with a 'Ride like Billie' tribute ride. In 1938, Billie Fleming cycled 29,603 miles promoting cycling for women, for health & fitness. Women will ride each day in 2015 in tribute to Billie - today it's our turn! This is one of our favourite rides! We leave Menston, and ride through Burley in Wharfedale on our way towards Ilkley. This route does involve cycling on the busy A65 between Burley and Ilkley for a short while so you need to be confident cycling in traffic. In Ilkley we leave the busy road and use the much quieter and much prettier back roads to Bolton Abbey. The route undulates a little but we always re group after any hills (to admire the views, of course!) so no one will be left behind! At Bolton Abbey we have a choice of stops for cake and coffee, but our favourite is Cavendish Pavilion - it's lovely to sit outside if the weather is good. We return via the same route, which involves a last tough little hill back into Menston - you'll easily burn off those calories! We can meet riders en route if you live in Burley or Illkey - just let me know! [email protected] 07841483610 Looking forward to seeing some new faces!
