The route had a major revision for 2009 which removed some busy roads and is now a 53.9 kilometre ride from Hebden Bridge, into the Aire valley, with a very generous time limit based on a minimum speed of 8 kph (that's 5 mph) and a maximum of 20 kph. With cafe stops at Scar Top and Keighley, you can have a leisurely day, share good company and good scenery, and get a sense of achievement at the finish.

Please
note that there is no space for car parking at the start. There are other
car parks close by in Hebden Bridge, although there is pressure on space
in this tourist town. Some of the car parks now only allow 3 or 4 hours
parking. The car parks at Garden
Street, Market Place, New Road, and Garden Square all offer unrestricted
parking. If arriving by car, you could park outside town and ride in, but
whatever you choose to do, please be sure to allow time to find a space
and to get to the event HQ in plenty of time for the start.
