If you are looking for ideas of where to cycle we have put together a series of rides across the Wakefield district. 

There are 14 rides to choose from; starting with easy going shorter routes of about 5 miles (8km), to a more challenging 20 mile (32km) ride. 

Each leaflet has a clear map with direction notes to follow.  Many of the routes have sections on and off road, following traffic free cycle paths where ever possible.
