Hi Rob (and ton), yes I'm in Methley, been out riding this am with my son Ben, lots of good stuff around when you know where to find it. This morns ride took us over Kippax Garforth (fly line) way then over to Colton via a few good bits, then into Temple Newsam for more singletrack stuff, good fun at present as its just muddy enough to make it interesting. We then did a bit in Rothwell Country Park before heading over back of Rothwell Sports centre on a cheeky bit over to Hungate lane and back home across fields to Methley.
I'm mainly riding at weekends at present as work is over in Lancs for now, though I still get out for club rides with Bad brains, details which you can find via tons link (cheers ton).
Will probably be out next weekend, will post it up on here if I remember so you are welcome to join me/us.
Steve.
Ton - Have we met? Must have at least passed each other on the trails I suppose.
Steve, Karen {rothwell housing} is my wife. when i am well i will be in touch for a ride.
hi i ride with the west yorkshire rough riders and we ride all over west yorkshire somewhere different every sat and wed and theres also a lad from rothwell who rides with us
ton - its a deal mate.
Mary says your wife is really nice - but I guess you know that 😉
Get well soon fella.
thanks guys, the bad brains look like a good bunch
i get fri and sat off work, sat tends to be spend with the little lady tho. i also start work at 5.30 so wont want to hang about for too long after rides, thurs would be fine tho, if i'm good enough to keep up.

Ton when your fit will be happy to tag-a-long if your up for it.
Hi Rob

James
Right Rob, will post a ride up for next Sat. Could meet at mine at Methley or could arrange to meet en-route or at Rothwell, Big boy James (jimc101) might even join us 😀 Like to start reasonably early if poss.
Steve.
Where's the singletrack bit in Temple Newsem? are they in the woods by the bike track or the woods on the same side as The Avenue?
I keep meaning to go over there as i was convinced there must be some stuff in those woods.
Theres singletrack all over in Tempy, good stuff either side of avenue, more bits before downhill track and a sweet section around edge of golf course that brings you out by motorway, join us next Sat if you like?
Hi guys, just up the road in garforth. Got a few other riding friends here too.
Could show you round some routes around temple newsam or further north even!?
yep Steve i'm up for that, how early is early? i'll drag my self up 😆
do you mean ride from methley/rothwell or drive somewhere? i'm happy to ride to methley (it's all downhill from me)
what sort of distance/times we looking at?
might even pop down on tues, will see how i feel after work
edit-
snotrag- sounds good i'd be up for that some time
Rob, he usually rides from Methley, 8 or 8.30 start, I think.
Try and get out on Tuesday, it's usually a good grin.
Spot on Chip.
8.30 it is Rob, I've posted it up on club forum.
Any body else fancies joining us meeting at Mickletown Community Centre Methley, LS26 9JE RTR 8.30 a.m.
Will be passing through Garforth heading for the fly line round about 9.30 I guess.
If anyone wants to meet up en-route pm me and we can make arrangements, would be good to pick peoples brains, the route is not set in stone.
Steve.
Good ride today.
Just a little heads up for anyone riding at Temple Newsam, someone has built a little kicker at the front of one of the table tops, nearly caught a few of us out, several near misses and one lad went over the bars. We've all ridden it before ( I rode it last week) so were not expecting it.
No damage done though and a fun mornings riding.
I'm sure a man of your calibre just took that in your stride as you whipped it over the table 😉
mmmmm I like a whip over the table 😀
mmmmm I like a whip over the table 😀
oooops looks like a couple of whips for me tonight....
yer thanks steve, i enjoyed the ride.
and yes that kicker caught me out, but some how managed to stay on 8)
