I'm going to be working around NW Leeds and rumour has it there's some not bad riding around there for post-work jaunts. Anyone got any recommendations?

Which bike'd be most fun? Race bike or something longer travel?

Race bike, theres nothing around east leeds that needs long travel.

Lovely. I'll get out exploring next week.

Actually what you need is something mud proof, east leeds mud is sticky and gloopy, Temple Newsham has its own special kind of gloop this time of year.

yer no need for long travel, there is a short bike track (250m) with a few log drops, table tops, bearm etc if you want to add a little bit of fun
