July’s first Newbie Tuesday ride is going to revisit our friends Blazing Saddles at their new showroom up Cragg Vale. Stringing together some quaint bridleways across the plateau to Soyland we drop down to Ripponden before passing below Great Mans Head back to base. A total of around 10 miles with a few climbs to get the legs working and a few descents to get the heart pumping - Nothing that can’t be ridden easily at sensible speeds though!
For anyone not sure if this is for them please be assured that there is no pressure to ride any faster than you are comfortable doing, if you feel the need to walk any/all of the climbs that’s fine too. The routes are chosen as much as possible to avoid any trail features that can’t be ridden by the majority of novice riders yet can still bring a smile to the face of the hardened pros… Everyone who’s attended so far has been really nice, oh, and we have jelly babies!
As ever, the ride is led by our Qualified, Insured and First Aid trained MTB leader and the route has been pre-ridden to ensure quality and safety. Spaces are limited so please book in advance to avoid disappointment - The cost is just £10 per person. Meet at 17:45 for a 18:00 set off, parking available at the Craggs Business Park.
