Ride Description:
This is an anticlockwise 'circular' ride, based partly on the Wild Boar Challenge route, using river and canal paths, former railway lines and bridleways. The scenery is mixed and it's a very pleasant and interesting route with a few quiet roads but mostly on trails. It's almost all flat so if you don't like hills then this is the ride for you!

We will call in at the RSPB St Aidan's nature reserve for a late morning cuppa before turning north up to Garforth along the Lines Way. We then go round the Temple Newsham Estate Woodlands before eventually picking up a track which takes us up through the Rothwell Country Park then back down to the start point.
