March 12, 2023,Bike ride; Shipley to Bingley 5 rise locks and back

No snow and ice today so decided to have a ride out from Shipley to Bingley 5 rise locks via the canal, Saltaire and Roberts Park. Some muddy tracks along the way. Canal busy with families, riders and runners. Lots of smiley people along the way 😀
