About

Gravel Otley Time Ride - an anti-clockwise, off-road circuit to Bolton Abbey and back

Otley Cycle Club working with Chevin Cycles, is pleased to announce a third, free to join Gravel bike ride, open to both club members and non-members, on Saturday, 25th July. Riders will meet at Chevin Cycles at 9.00 am, returning to Otley around 1.00 pm (ish).

The 3rd GOT ride, over 26 miles will follow an off-road route that weaves its way via Middleton Moor and on to Storiths, before dropping down to Bolton Abbey. Cafe at Tea On The Green or the cafe opposite. Returning via Addingham Suspension Bridge and tracks between Ben Rhydding and Burley In Wharfedale.

While the route is designed for Gravel Bikes, Mountain Bikes are welcome as well. The ride will again be a steady, enjoyable pace with regular regrouping.

If the rides continue to be popular, the Club plans to put on more Gravel rides, perhaps every two weeks through the Summer, with Beginner’s Road Cycle rides (see separate booking) in the intervening weeks.

Helmets are required on all Club rides. If you are riding, please make sure yours is in good condition. You do not need specialist cycling clothing for the ride but do make sure you apply lots of sun cream and / or are reasonably waterproof, have sweets (for energy), money for coffee and cakes and a full water bottle.

The ride will be led by experienced coaches. Older children (aged 16 and over) are welcome on the ride if accompanied by a parent or guardian.

Otley Cycle Club operates a ‘try before you buy’ policy for non-members, so feel free to try this, or one or two other club rides this, Summer.

The Club is very proud to celebrate its 100th birthday next year.
