After leaving The Leggers Inn this ride travels along the Spen Greenway and the Ringway before going through Hightown, Hartshead, Mirfield and Battyford. At Battyford it joins the Mirfield Greenway and then back to The Leggers Inn. There are a few hills along the way so be prepared to be challenged on occasions.

We will encounter a reasonable amount of traffic on the tarmac sections so riders will need to be confident in those situations. Mountain bikes, hybrids and road bikes should be ok on this ride.

The café back at The Leggers Inn is currently undergoing a re-fit though we have been informed that it should be re-open and serving breakfast & brunches by the 1st August, possibly sooner.

Helmets are mandatory on all Kirklees Riders outings. Please bring a spare inner tube suitable for the tyres on the bike you are riding.

I am sure by now that you are all familiar with the latest government guidelines relating to social distancing. If in doubt please make sure you familiarise yourself between now and Sunday’s ride. Please also ensure you bring the anti-bacterial agents necessary to keep both yourself and your fellow riders safe throughout the ride. If you or any members of your family are showing COVID 19 symptoms, or self-isolating, please stay at home.
