[Closed] Hebden Bridge Riding Advice

[img] [/img]

i wanted "recomendations" for specific places. Thats a rather big area

get yourself to midgehole (head up and out of Hebden Bridge towards hardcastle crags)

there's a pub at the bottom of a run called the Blue Pig (unsurprisingly the pub has the same name!).

Push all the way up to the top of the trail that starts close to the pub(it's a good 20 minute push up). You can even cross over the busy main road and push up even further.

Now ride back down 😀

It's a cracking little run. Very very fast, lots of roots, cobbles, rocks, off camber sections, drops, chutes. It's varied the whole way down, lots of separate distinguishable sections

It's quite tiring, but the more you ride it the quicker you get and the more fun it becomes.

There is a reason why it's even got a bike named after it!

here's a video of the proper route

You can vary the route by continuing up the main path as opposed to the turn off this guy would have taken on the way up (it's much clearer to spot when you are actually walking up)

(don't worry about the fact the guy is all armoured up, there's no need in the dry, it does get a bit sketchy in the wet though because of the speed you carry into sections)

What Brant said.
Or you could take biscuits into Blazings and ask nicely.
