Saltaire to Kirkstall Abbey via Hollybush Farm

Steady route to Kirkstall Abbey using mainly towpath routes NCN 66 and 696 This will be a mix of road and towpath. The towpath is a good surface to cycle on but it isn't tarmac, so we'd recommend that your bike has tyres with some tread on them rather than slick tyres. We will call in at Hollybush Farm for a bite and a drink before heading to Kirkstall Abbey then following the road towards Horsforth, before heading back down to rejoin the towpath. What to bring with you? Bring some water and some food if you think you'll want a snack en route. We'll make a cafe stop during the ride so bring some money if you want to purchase food and drink. It is useful to carry a spare inner tube that fits your bike. It isn't essential to wear a cycle helmet but we strongly recommend that you do. We will meet at All Terrain Cycles, Salts Mill, Saltaire. BD18 3LA. The ride will leave at 10.30am so please a little before then so we are ready to leave on time.
