No bike ride is complete without a coffee and a chat, so there will be a cafe stop on each ride.
You need to be confident cycling on back roads in some traffic, but these sections will be managed by the qualified ride leaders/cycle instructors and will include some on-road cycle training. These routes are mainly on towpaths and greenways but with some on-road sections. They also have some short uphill sections, so you will need to be able to use your gears effectively.
Rides are led by Kate and Jane, who will manage the traffic as we ride on-road. Bring a bike lock and money for a cafe stop.
If you wish to borrow a bike and helmet for a ride, please email us at cvct.info@gmail.com to let us know beforehand. Please note - loan bikes are not available for the Brighouse to Sowerby Bridge ride.
