Hi Wheelers, we are off towards Wakefield for this ride. This is a great ride for new off roaders, its decent miles but very easy terrain. Heading out towards St Aidans along the canal, Methley, Stanley Ferry, Warmfield, Sharleston and towards Anglers lake for a cafe stop at the visitors centre. Then back via Walton Colliery, Heath and back via the canal. A great day out on a lot of unknown trails.****************************
9.30am -meet at The Barnbow Pub in Crossgates (50 miles round trip)
10am – meet at Woodlesford lock (37 miles round trip)
Distance -50 miles, climbing 1455 ft, saddle time approximately 5.5 hours.
Terrain- mainly easy to ride paths, relatively flat route
Bike suitability-local trails so most off road capable bikes should be fine, definitely off road tyres.
Snacks – cafe stop planned halfway at Anglers Lake but always bring snacks
Note- Can you do a pre-ride check of your bike for faulty/worn/loose components in time so any issues can be resolved please.
PS don’t forget your helmet!
Estimated finishing time – 5pm (all day)
