RIDES FOR 2012?

Re: rides 2012

see rob atkin ben, he haunts those parts and may know some trails in and around.

for now i will run with whatever is announced. im sure things will be clearer when the clocks go forward and the sap rises

I could come up with a route around Holmfirth.... up towards the moors, a couple of do-able short rocky descents and some long easy (for you guys) climbs with great views.

It's be like a mini Peaks ride as the terrain is pretty similar. There is some singletrack stuff but it's cheeky and so I don't like riding it so would give it a miss - my mate rides it but I won't.

Lots of tea shops - fish and chips are great round there.

If there is any interest I could put a route together of about 10-15 miles.

I would bring free buns made by my lovely wife.

I'm not tempted by a lack of singletrack but might be interested in your lovely wife's buns.

With places like UpperThong and NetherThong and Totties.
Sound like it should be good.

It's hour and half from here and there are plenty of Leeds area that can make it

This weeks ride was a bit more like winter, all ice & snow
but with no wind.
We returned to Reeth to test a new route but day light and weather were against us.


Looking down on Reeth

The easy bit

The hard bit

Much fun

Think there expecting snow ?

Keep smiling

Top of the last decent

Fun fun fun

Hope you enjoyed the pics.......... you could be riding here later this year
