    Out tomorrow. Looking for somewhere fun and new to ride.

    Might just end up having a second visit to Lee Quarry but I fancied somewhere I’d never been. Obviously you don’t know where I’ve been but..

    Anybody have any ideas? If not I might just go off the back off Lee Quarry and try and make a long run from the bit of track over the moorland, down thru the quarry and on the bit of singletrack back to the main gate.

    Hebden? Should be fair good conditions at the moment…. this route takes in some reasonable stuff.

    Not sure where you’re setting off from but how about sharney ford-Lymersgate-Watergrove res- back up rooley moor road and you could do a lap of cragg quarry -back down the link road into lee quarry , should give you a good twenty miler

    Ha ton have you been following me?

    Setting off from just off Norland moor in a van. I love Hebden but always end up roaming off and making the ride a bit disjointed. Was thinking I should just get back to Lee Quarry and get more familiar with it.

    You know how it is when you only saw Lee Quarry for the first time a week ago then Gisburn the week after for the first time, I just want to go somewhere new every week now :mrgreen:

    Some good route advice. Watched a vid of someone doing a 4 minute flat/descent into Lee Quarry that looked like fun with a few kickers along the way.

    Go up Blackwood road, turn left up rakehead to cragg quarry. Do a few laps then back onto Rakehead/rooley moor road till you get to the Lee quarry link. Bomb down to Lee Quarry and mess about on the pump track. That should kill 2 – 3 hours

    Settle to Malham and back via Mastiles to Settle. It’s easy to follow with a map. Have fun.
