How is to ride? Can you ride all the way without using the road?
Ride from Leeds on the road before and it was not pleasant. So will do canal if it’s rideable.
yes you can, done it a few times and it is ok.
i am in rothwell, rothwell, methley, stanley, doncaster road, pugneys, horbury lagoon, horbury bridge, saville town, ravensthorpe, mirfield, colne bridge, bradley park, brighouse, exley, copley, sowerby bridge, luddenden foot, mytholmroyd and hebbers.
and it is good. and if you fancy a cycling partner, let me know and i may join you, if you aint too fast.
There's a short section blocked at the moment east of Salterhebble junction for A629 upgrades - it's just before Copley.
Thanks very much for the replies.
Very much appreciated. Might drop you a line ton. I have to warn you it would involve drinking probably too much beer! And slow riding.
Sounds like my cup of tea if you need another companion. I'm in Rothwell and also a plodder.
sounds perfect. train back after a few shandies......win.
You’ll have to take it slow at the moment anyway - there are geese and goslings everywhere!
If you come off the canal at Sowerby Bridge (you have to anyway for the tunnel) and ride through town (past Happy Days Cycles if you want to say hi to Dieter) and along Hollins Mill Lane instead, before picking up the canal again, you’ll pass the Puzzle Inn. Usually worth a stop there!
Yes I'm up for this. I'm available any of the next three Sundays.
I've got something else on this Sunday now, but can do 29th May or 5th June if anyone's up for it?
I am busy with house renovating for a few more weeks till I get a pass from the boss.
Then planning to get some rides in.
fella's i can do anytime. just message me when you fancy it.
once under the m62 towards Brighouse, and you get to the locks/gates, if the house has its window open be prepared for a grumpy old git shouting at you, think its only the second time in recent years that i've told someone to go f___ themselves..
i was caught aledgedly speeding, and likely to injure a pedestrian, i'd just pushed the bike through the gate on its back wheel upright, then sat on my saddle and pedal'd one turn, i said i wasnt speeding and it was unlikely i'd kill a walker as no one else was about., he carried on ,
he then said 'anyway bikes are not allowed.'
told him whatever and then to go F-- himself.. it did make me Smile.
been on mirfield to sowerby a few times in the last month.
some longterm Building works at salterhebble (200m max diversion on the road), its all blue signposted..
watchout for the canada geese and babies, they are very defensive.. met a few around brighouse to elland.
I'd recommend a Bell.
