Steve Kidd Cycling Trips and Guides

Denby Dale Road, Wakefield

On the original map these were not joined up. I don't know if they are now. On this page I have included the assements for three different parts or alternatives for what is, essentially, a single route. I am sorry if it seems pointless, I agree that it is!

1: South West end (1)

This has the same start and end points as the route below. Instead of replicating two shitty routes why don't WMDC just try and do one moderately?
