Am taking another group of beginners from our climbing club for a spin round Calderdale in couple of weeks.
Last time I did it, the route was Heptonstall, Edge Lane, Gorple, Widdop, Walshaw, Hardcastle Craggs, lunch in Hebden then up to Horsfold, London Road, canal to Hebden then up Colden Clough and back to Heptonstall.
Everyone enjoyed the ride (even the girl who turned up on the singlespeed 'crosser!) and none of the beginners were too intimidated by the relatively easy terrain.
Been trying to plan a different route, but everything I come up with seems to have a few bits that might seriously intimidate newer riders.
Anyone got any suggestions for an alternative 20 odd mile route round the valley suitable for complete beginners? Fitness shouldn't be a problem, just having difficulties trying to work out something without too much techie stuff.
Thanks in advance.
