Meeting at Otley Garden Centre, Pool Road, LS21 1DY for our first Sunday Club Ride of 2025. Please arrive with plenty of fuel from 9.00am for chat and pre-ride briefing before a 9.30am set off.
The route takes us through Menston, Bingley, Harden, Cullingworth and into Haworth, stopping for a morning break. Using the Museum car park BD22 8DS (£1.50 card fee-use RingGo £1.60 app for ease).
After morning break, off towards Oxenhope & Pecket Well, taking a left in the village after The Robin Hood Inn, along Ackroyd Lane & the aptly named Height Road affording spectacular views across Hebden Bridge. Then switching back downhill at Midgley into Mytholmroyd in the valley. Right onto the main road and immediately left over the humpback bridge onto the steep B6138 Cragg Road for a few miles, turning right at Blackstone Edge reservoir the A58 towards Littleborough & Hollingworth Lake for lunch at The Wine Press OL15 0AZ where there is dedicated motorcycle parking. A table is not booked as they wanted a substantial non-refundable deposit. We will take our chances as there are other eating options around the lake.
After lunch, retracing our steps back home through Mytholmroyd (fuel stop if necessary), then Hebden Bridge, Haworth, through Keighley across the A650 roundabout onto the B6265 (signposted Riddlesden) Road and then after a couple of miles turn left at traffic lights on to Swine Lane across the Leeds and Liverpool Canal, through East Morton, past The Dick Hudson and through Menston to Otley & finishing back at the Garden Centre.
