| 1. This is a road route, mainly on A and B roads, but with a section of country roads on the final stretch. It also has a variety of climbs to negotiate.
The route has a gentle start through Keighley and onto Cross Hills. There are then increasing climbs towards Colne. From Laneshaw Bridge, the country road has a couple of nasty climbs, then levels, but the climb to Penistone Hill is a real burner for the once a week rider. The hard work is compensated for by great views and there is a nice pub to finish. |
