About this event

What better way to enjoy the warmer evenings ahead than with a bike ride along the towpaths and quiet roads around Huddersfield?

Most Thursdays - meet at 5pm at Colne Valley Leisure Centre, New Street, Slaithwaite HD7 5AB. Please arrive by 4:45pm if you need to borrow a bike and helmet.

Thurs 29 May, Thurs 26 June and Thurs 31 July - meet at 5pm Leeds Rd Sports Complex, Leeds Road, Huddersfield HD2 1YY. Please arrive by 4.45pm if you need to borrow a bike and helmet.

Our Slaithwaite rides stay on the towpath and we ride to either Marsden or Milnsbridge. 6-8 miles in total.

Our Leeds Road rides are a mix of on-road riding and greenway and we ride to Mirfield using as much of the greenway as possible. 12-14 miles in total.

We have a qualified ride leaders to lead the rides and manage the traffic when we are on-road. We go at a steady pace and never leave anyone behind. As this is Kirklees, there are some slopes to get up so you will need to be able to use gears.

All sessions are free and bikes and helmets are available to borrow if you need one. Contact us on cvct.info@gmail.com to let us know if you need to borrow a bike or helmet.

If you have any queries please contact us at cvct.info@gmail.com and we'll gladly get in touch with you.
