I generally go up the A660 to Otley, I really don't like the A61 but it makes a nice loop up via Harewood and up Wharfedale via Pool to Otley. Stop in Dunnies by the river. I was in there today, came back on the A660, actually went up the A61 too as far as Ripon. There are lanes which I take sometimes, not done so for a few years though, but quieter and nice on a summers evening. Turn off after Adel, go past Headingley Golf Club and head for Arthington, then to Otley on the A659 via Pool.
I intend to do some evening rides after work out that way once the clocks change.
I am 5 miles south of the city centre so upper Wharfedale makes for a longer ride, not that long distances really faze me though !
