CYCLISTS are invited to Huddersfield Cycle Touring Club to explore the countrysidearound Kirkburton.

It is one of a series of monthly rides aimed at those reasonably new to cycling.

The three-hour ride of around 12 miles starts outside the Try Cycling shop in North Road, Kirkburton at 10am on Saturday, August 6.

It will be on surfaced roads using quiet country lanes wherever possible.

Those taking part are asked to bring some basic tools, a spare inner tube and a pump.
