Join us on an adventure within the park and beyond to the Leeds country way. We then follow the canal to Methley and about-turn to the infamous fish and chip shop for lunch. Then, it's a steady pedal back up to temple Newsam to take in more of it's splendor.

Right folks , recce done today and all is good no matter what the weather gods throw at us , around 14/15 miles and this is one enjoyable but piss easy ride , all those people umming n arrghing about can I do it , this is the ride for you , the more experienced riders will be rewarded with a nice steady and enjoyable social ride with ( according to Marc North) superb fish n chips , you'll get to see a stately home , a f*****g huge drag line excavator, a nature reserve , a marina, the A1/M1 link (from above) and numerous bits of woodland all on the outskirts of Leeds and within really easy reach of M1/A1/M62 .
Hopefully we might attract some of our lesser seen eastern crew .

Postcode is bang on for the 'navs.

Note height barrier, should you be arriving in a hummer, double decker bus etc, just park on main drag opposite, no charge or double yellas'.
