Moortown Co-op

Fairly flat first half except going down Weardley, stopping at Miller's Cafe in Starbeck (17 miles). Then through Ripley, Burnt Yates and Glasshouses to the Teacups Tearooms in Pateley Bridge (32 miles) for lunch --- NB cash only---. Then the long unforgiving Greenhow Hill that levels out a few times only to kick back up again. Nice romp down to Blubberhouses then hilly again going to Otley. 

Out via Eccup Reservoir, down to Harewood Bridge, then Kirby Overblow, Follifoot, and Spofforth where we take the Wetherby Railway Track into Wetherby. Choice of cafes in Wetherby. 

Then continuing on the railway track towards the Thorpe Arch Trading Estate and returning via Thorpe Arch, Boston Spa, Bramham, Scarcroft and Slaid Hill.

The track has a generally good firm surface.
