Pudsey Cenotaph

Long Ride to Kirkburton 53 miles

https://ridewithgps.com/routes/39447458

The same destination as on 24th April but by a different route, quite hilly. The possibility of an early coffee stop in Cleckheaton, then after skirting Huddersfield, treading, (I think) some new tarmac through Farnley Tyas and Thunder Bridge to the welcoming Cottage Kitchen cafe in Kirkburton.  Returning via Horbury and Wakefield and the Trans Pennine Trail to Leeds. Nearly all paved roads except for the TPT which should be ok with the majority dry weather we have been getting.

Long Ride to Halifax

A short but hilly ride through Bradford and Queensbury stopping in Halifax (19 miles) at the Shay cafe.  Returning through Brighouse and Tong.

Also to view entrances to two disused railway tunnels that it is hoped will be reopened for walkers and cyclists.  That is the Pudsey Greenside tunnel that runs for over a third of a mile west towards Tyersal and the Queensbury tunnel which runs for 1.4 miles under Queensbury to be part of a route between Bradford and Halifax.
