I am unexpectedly free again on June 22nd. I will be riding out to the Country Kitchen cafe at Waddington in the Forest of Bowland AONB with one or two non-CC pals, but any CycleChatters who fancy coming along would be welcome to join us.
Assuming that the weather is ok, I would like to ride out 'over the tops' and will probably come back the easy way via the Padiham Greenway and the A646.
The total distance will be 101 km (63 miles) and the pace will be easy, speed of the slowest rider. Including stops and taking the hills into account, I reckon we will average about 15 kph (9 mph) overall.
We'll be aiming to set off at 10:00 so let's meet at Market Place car park, Hebden Bridge, at 09:45 on Sunday, 22nd June. (Map showing car parks)
The centre of Hebden Bridge is now pedestrianised and there is a one-way system. To get to the car park turn right up Commercial Street as you come into HB from the Halifax direction, second left after about 100 yards by the White Lion. Follow that road round over the river. The car park is then on your right.
If you are coming from the Todmorden direction, turn left down Old Gate (one way street) at the end of Market Street, just after the Inn on the Bridge (being repaired) on your left. Follow the road round past the (boarded up) Hole in t'Wall. The car park is straight ahead on the right just beyond the new council buildings.
If anybody decides to turn up announced (it has happened before) make sure that you get to Market Place car park by 09:45 because we won't be hanging about once all those officially riding have gathered!
I reckon we might get back at about 16:00, maybe even a bit later. (Told you it would be slow!) The local parking wardens nab people all the time, so pay for a full day in the car park - it is a lot cheaper than paying a hefty fine!
