Out through the City Centre passing near Temple Newsam. Mainly good tarmac cycling paths through and beyond the Centre. Pass under the M1 on a quiet road to the Aire /Calder navigation and through St Aidan’s nature reserve to Allerton Bywater. Compact ground covered with a fine gravel but ok for road bikes. Limited options for a coffee stop. Possibility at Carlton View Sandwich Bar (13 Miles) - good value breakfast type fare. Continuing on tracks and quiet roads to Fairburn Ings. Sandwiches, flapjacks and coffee machine here. Return to Kippax then more off-road to Garforth, Cross Gates. One very short rough section, otherwise as above. Finally joining the Temple Newsam to Roundhay Park Greenway (tarmac).
