The Goose Eye Grovel!

This is a hard, scenic loop from Hebden Bridge. Make extra sure your bike is in good condition for this one because the steep ascents and descents will soon find any weakness in you or your bike! If you want a cafe stop, call in at the tearooms on the top floor of Moor Lodge, Scar Top (see http://www.scartop.com/moorlodge.htm) on your left after about 32 miles. This is a 50 mile route, but if your legs are already shot on the climb back out of Oxenhope, you can ignore the left turn up the killer climb and take an 8 mile shortcut back to Hebden Bridge over Cock Hill. Many cyclists take that option! ;-) Please note - if you do the full route, there is a half mile stretch of tatty unmade road which is potholed and gravelly. It's passable with care on a road bike. Just watch where you are riding and don't go too fast.by ColinJ
