This week Tandem Trekkers returned to our old favourite, the Spen Valley Greenway. The forecast rain almost held off and most of the ride was in lovely summer sunshine, with a cool northerly wind to take the edge off the usual June temperatures.

A very green Greenway <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Five tandems left TT HQ and ventured along the Calder Valley Greenway through Ravensthorpe and then a sharp left turn that caught a couple of teams out, before a gentle climb up to Oakenshaw and Low Moor. Once on the cycle path our tandems were able to ride at a pace that suited them. There were many families out walking and frequent cries were heard of, \u201cLook mum, there\u2019s another one!\u201d and other sounds of excitement as we carefully passed with an airy \u201cGood morning\u201d, or \u201cThank you\u201d as they moved over to allow us past.

There was an interesting diversion at Cleckheaton when two teams stopped to assist paramedics who were attending an elderly gent who had collapsed on the path, it\u2019s the kind of caring folk that we have in our lovely club.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, we had to take a break at the Sunflower Pot Caf\u00e9, where Hayley is publicising Ian\u2019s sponsored walk next week.

We were back at HQ around midday in a slight shower, but with plenty of time to enjoy the rest of the afternoon in the sunshine.
