About the route

Starting point

BD18 4NQ

About 32 miles on quiet, pretty flat roads and cycle paths (can be shorter on the day), most of route follows National Cycle Route 66. Canal path to Shipley Bradford cycle path to city square. Back streets to Bowling Park. Bierley Ave. to Low Moor. Greenway to Dewsbury. Admire the view. Return via Spen Valley Ringway, Eve's Cafe in the park next to Cleckheaton Bus Station (very nice when we were there in April). Rejoin Greenway at back of Tesco and return to Hirst Wood. Return route is via the Heckmondyke bridges on the Spen Valley Ringway.

Money for the cafe but there's space outside for your own snack.

Usual clothing, wet weather gear and spare inner tube just in case, snacks and drinks.

No one is left behind, first-timers welcome!
