I'm thinking of riding to Saltaire this weekend from Leeds, but I only have the road bike with me, does anyone know what the surface is like?

It's either tarmac or well bedded in hardcore. I use the next section as part of my commute which is similar or rougher. I wouldn't like to do it on 23C tyres at typical road tyre pressures though. If you are on 28C or bigger then you will be fine.

Edit: This is typical -

Fine on the cx bike. Risk of punctures with a standard road bike tyre I'd think, on some of the hard core. You can ride round the bigger pot holes.
