Then cut across to Keighley to rejoin the section of the  route as it heads South. Climb steadily to Cross Roads\, then over to Haworth and up the cobbled Main Street then along to Oxenhope and up to Queensbury via the Dog & Gun (Cote de Leeming). Enjoy the drop down to Shelf and Stump Cross\, and prepare for the ride up Shibden Valley to the Shibden Mill Inn\, and then tackle the 1 in 4 cobbled Lee Lane known as ‘Shibden Wall’! Then it’s back up to Queensbury and a run back down to Bradford.\nRoute Sheets and Information\nGPX file\n\nDetailed route sheet ( 2 sides of A4) (Word doc) (pdf)\n\n4-Fold ‘Audax-style’ route sheet (1 side of A4) (Word doc) (pdf)\n\nView the route at Ride with GPS\n\nCONDITIONS FOR ENTRY\n\n\n \tYou must be over 13 years of age.
