Did you know there is a bridge on the Leeds Liverpool Canal which is known as "The Troll Bridge"? Join us for a traffic free canal towpath ride towards Silsden. We will cycle as far as Bridge 194 (perhaps we'll find out why it is known locally as the Troll Bridge) where we'll then turn round and retrace our journey, making a stop at a cafe on the way back. Most of the journey is on the traffic free towpath, with only a short section of quiet road to get to the canal. 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. 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 10am so please a little before then so we are ready to leave on time. PLEASE NOTE: IF COMING BY CAR, THE CAR PARK POSTCODE IS BD17 7EH. Please use the car park at the back of All Terrain, there is plenty of free parking there and using BD17 7EH with Sat Navs will take you to the car park access.
