Bank Holiday Ride

author Posted by: Antony Delaney on date Aug 25th, 2008 | filed Filed under: General, Routes

Starting at Haworth, then moving down Walshaw following the bridleway back to Haworth just clocking up over 12 miles. To be honest I do think we went around the wrong way.

And as you may guess i have yet again damaged my bike. I really don’t know how I do it. This time been the rim on the back wheel. To top it off i went over the handle bars twice and not been used to my new pedals i was unable to unclip.

Below you can see the google map of the route we took using the I-Gotu device. Sorry people but the last part looks to be missing as I some how turned it off.
Some of you may question the speed chart and i said, we should of gone the other way and some of it was un-ridable

Hi guys
We’ve been out on a local through the week.

First time round we met half way up Alters lane (Bingley) starting from from home then on the third run from the bottom car park of St Ives, as you can see from the data the ride its about 13.5 mile with quite a bit of off road, there’s a fast off road section behind what’s locally known as the “Flappit”, this can be fun as there are different worn tracks, so if your doing it at speed you can get caught out. there’s also a section off Ryecroft road that’s entertaining, though still needs more exploring.  you can finish with the run through the woods at St Ives.

we where going to get a full blown GPS system but found a little I got-U device from Maplins, just a simple GPS tracking system  that will create waypoints as you ride that you can download to your PC, with with the right software it’s great and all from less then £40. We had to use another peace of software called topofusion to get the elevation data.
