Come and try this lovely country road route around the tops of Calderdale. Starting at Blackstone Edge Reservoir you make your way on quiet lanes above the towns of Ripponden, Triangle and Sowerby. The views throughout the route are spectacular and not to be missed. As if all that isn't enough, you finish this 15 mile ride on the longest continuous accent in England, but don’t worry it's not steep and you start half way up! Anybody who enjoys being on the bike and wants to see some wonderful countryside in their own back yard then this ride is not to be missed!
