Off to ride the Dales for a couple of days for the rest of the weekend/bank holiday and the routes are taken care of.
Would like to ride for a couple of hours on the way up around Harrogate/Leeds/Ilkeley area, doesn't matter where.
Any suggestions anyone??
Cheers, Tim
Well, you have Otley Chevin - and a nice fancy bike shop at the bottom of it. Riding is mostly wood trails - plenty of climbs/descents but not too technical
Then if you fancy, Ilkley is about 6 miles away - And there is a bunch of seriously good trails on Ilkley Moor .. There's a debate as to whether cycling is 'allowed' on the Moor but no one has ever shouted at me for it! Some very techy stuff around there can be taken at speed .. some long blistering downhill sections - not too steep but quick
There's also another awesome shop in Ilkley JD cycles ... but it's a bit hidden.
Also Stainburn Trail centre if you feel up for a challenge ... Around Norwood edge/ Menwith Hill
The Pately Bridge classic is worth a shot, couple of hours of nice Dales scenery.
