Wharfedale May Day Bike Ride
2 people attending
6 places left
Join Roger for a day long cycle in beautiful Wharfedale.
Starting from Skipton Station we will be biking on canal, country lane, various bridle ways and quiet little roads through the great scenery on Wharfedale before returning to Skipton for a pint.
Leave the train station we will follow the canal pathway to Gargrave where we will take the Malham road towards Hetton. From Hetton we head off on a bridleway to Bordsley Moor and if unridable (due to mud) may need to push for 10-15 minutes before hitting a road then decending into the remote hamlet of Bordsley. From Bordsley climbing up over the hill to decend into Threshfield. Then taking the quietish country lane to Burnstall where there will be a cafe stop. After refuelling we will be following the River Wharfe down the valley past the historic Bolton Abbey before returning via the back roads to Skipton for a pint
There are a number of hills and descends so a reasonable level of fitness will be required as is front suspension.
A good day out and will leave you pleasantly tired and me knackered :)
