Not cycled for a while and looking for an easy way to get back in the saddle? Fancy a fun way to get your friends or kids riding? Our Easygoing rides are great for building confidence for all abilities and ages along relaxed, mostly traffic-free routes. They’re up to six miles long, with a gentle pace of around six miles an hour.

A circular route from Hebden Bridge that is mostly off-road, making use of National Cycle Route 66 to Luddenden Foot and returning to Hebden Bridge on the Rochdale Canal. The route initially follows a former railway line to Mytholmroyd and then, after a short section of road, passes through the countryside to Luddenden Foot. The route back along the canal is popular with families and passes through a pleasant marina before returning to the park. The route is suitable for all types of bikes, but those with lightweight racing bikes may find the surface uneven in places.
