Bank Holiday weekend and the weather was perfect for cycling,  sunny, but not too hot. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With many away and some last minute changes to the logistics,  we rolled out of TT HQ with 4 tandems and 2 solo bikes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are many twists and turns at the start of this ride to access the Ossett Greenway  at Saviletown. Our most recently inducted  pilot rode with a sighted stoker due to illness of our real VI stoker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We made good time to Ossett where all riders opted to tackle the longer route via Horbury. A couple of minor routing glitches couldn’t dampen spirits as the sun peeped out at us, and we sailed downhill to Horbury, then 2 left turns to point us back towards our cafe stop at Gracie’s where we enjoyed the shade of the canopy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Refreshed, we waved goodbye to one solo rider and enjoyed the wind in our hair all the way back to Dewsbury.
Thank you to all who made the effort, such a great bunch of thoughtful and kind people .<\/p>\n\n\n\n
