Description

Find the Elland which gives its name to Leeds United's Football ground. Although this is only 50km, it's a lumpy 50km, as you'll soon discover as you climb out of the Tame Valley and drop into the deep valleys of the Colne, the Calder, and the Ryburn, so you'll need good brakes and strong legs.

See www.DelphCyclist.info/EllandPerm.html for full details (GPS, maps, route sheet, cafes list etc). Ride by eBrevet!
