‘Pink Ribbon Tour’ Saltaire to Utley

This is a pleasant and varied ride along the canal from Saltaire to Low Wood, Riddlesden, where we will turn off the towpath and pass through Keighley Golf Club and up onto the main road at Utley. We will then ride on a mix of road and cycle ways towards Bingley before returning to the canal. We’ll always ride at the pace of the slowest rider so no one is left behind. Please note: this ride is taking place during the week of the Women's Pink Ribbon Tour, and so we are offering our support to this worthy cause which has affected so many of us. It would be great to see a few decorated bikes along the way. I'll see what I can do! We really welcome newcomers to our rides and on the ride out, the more adventurous can take the '5 Rise Lock Hill' challenge or you can join me in pushing. We will be stopping for refreshments, probably at 5 Rise Locks Approx 16 miles round trip, but can be easily shortened if required (or even lengthened if the mood takes us. It's a good idea to bring some water and you may also want to bring a snack. Newcomers to Breeze rides are very welcome, you just need a roadworthy bike with a spare inner tube of the correct size (just in case). Dress appropriately for the weather: several thin layers are best and a rain jacket could come in handy. The towpath can get muddy after rain, so please bear this in mind when choosing what to wear for the ride. Wearing a helmet is advisable; if you don’t have one please do not to worry you can still take part. If you enjoy the bike ride and would like to come again perhaps you could look to buy one then. Look forward to seeing you there! My contact number on the day - 07940 975 971
