Spending the weekend in Brighouse this weekend (woop woop! :lol:) and looking to get out on the Niner. I'm carrying a rib injury and not wanting to throw myself down any rock gardens etc so looking for a nice XC ride, there appears to be hills all around and would be a shame not to explore them 8)

Brighouse in West Yorks?

We don't have tons of bridleways down our end of the calder valley, but there's plenty of nice cheeky stuff around. I should be out this weekend, drop me a mail if you fancy tagging along and I'll let you know what's happening. When you coming down?

What DaveyBoy said is true, especially at the moment due to the combination of dusty trails and bluebells.
Woody should be able to sort you out, I might join you.

Got to see what I'm doing Jase. Might be free for a few hours Saturday. I'll have to check with the boss(es).

Lots of great rides from Brighouse! Up the hill to Southowram/Queensbury, tracks and woods all the way! Or head up to Copley Bank and over Norland Moor! Lots to choose from in that part of the world. It would be good if you could have a guide I suppose!

I'm not Jase. Got a wedding to go to on Sunday so tomorrow is a chilling out day at home and getting a few jobs done.

Out tonight for a couple of hours if you're about? Ride from mine, Norland Moor etc. Back before it gets proper dark?

I think so Dave - does it end in 6924?

Leppy - hope you can make it. Only going to be shortish as one or 2 walking wounded at the moment!
