A tour of some of wakefields history highlights.

A road and surfaced trails ride. Mostly away from busy roads but there are a couple of short sections and main roads to cross.

A cafe stop is planned for sandal castle. Also lots of opportunities for historic photos of interest.

Helmets are mandatory on random wheelers rides. Please bring money for cafe and clothing for the conditions of the day.

We never leave anyone behind
