We have four planned rides a week, all suited to different fitness levels, as well as other rides arranged by club members.
Check out the club Facebook page for up to date information on all club rides.
A club ride “route bible” spreadsheet will be available on our website soon!
Saturday Rides
We have two weekly Saturday rides, and one monthly. Both head west.
| Ride name | Information | Meet |
|---|---|---|
| “Windmills” WEEKLY | Our long standing club route – a lumpy ride out to the Windmill Coffee Shop, Millhouse Green – is the longer of the Saturday rides. This ride is usually at a steady pace and great place to start for new riders. It’s 35 miles out and back, and classic hilly route. Here’s the Strava segment for the usual route out: https://www.strava.com/segments/1367817 | 08:45 @ Battyeford Island, Wood Lane, Mirfield. |
| “Corner Cafe” WEEKLY | Our ride out to the Corner Cafe in Holmfirth is slightly shorter at around 30 miles, out and back. A greenway start, flat until Lockwood – it is a great way to start the weekend. Burn off the weeks stress with an optional leg stretcher up the Hagg Wood climb out of Honley, or after the cafe, there’s the also optional New Mill to Brockholes time trial too. Regroup and roll back to Mirfield, another coffee at Faustos is also, guess what.. optional! | 09:00 @ Battyeford Island, Wood Lane, Mirfield. |
| “All Club” 1st SATURDAY MONTHLY | Intended to help club members meet people they don’t normally get chance to ride with. We meet behind Mirfield Library, in the entrance to the Coop car park, to depart at 09:15. Find the right group for you, and take our usual route to Holmfirth for breakfast, usually at Corner House Cafe. Then returning to Mirfield, and finishing at Faustos and/then The Flowerpot for a quick social drink. | 09:15 @ behind Mirfield Library. |
Sunday Rides
Our Sunday rides tend to be a traditional club ride; paced to suit on the flats, and regrouping at the top of climbs. These rides leave from Mirfield Library at 09:00 every Sunday, usually with a second meet shortly after, and depending on the routes direction, it can be either Shaw Cross, Quarry Hill, Scholes, or Brighouse.
In the winter months the rides tend to be around 50-60 miles and increase to around 70-90 miles in the summer. These rides always have a cafe stop around half way, a good place to get to know other riders.
WEEKLY RIDE INFO: This will always be an event or post on our club Facebook page.
ANNUAL CALENDAR: A diary stylelist of pre-planned epics, soon on here!
Wednesday “Tints” Ride
This normally is at a leisurely pace and takes in a couple of café stops for coffee and lunch. Meeting points vary, depending on destination and mileage tends to increase during the summer months. Check out the Facebook group feed for information. A list of the meeting point and destination for upcoming rides will be posted here shortly!
