To protect my sanity I've got my bike while at the in laws. Being bored-ish of stainburn I would like a ten miler from guiseley for tomorrow morning. I have neither a map, GPS or guide book...

Can you save me stw?

Take a compass. Head north, ride around on the moor and then head back south.

Head up moor road/Lane. Turn right and head towards otley chevin car park. Can do a loop around the chevin on the bridle ways and there are a few cheeky little descents you can mess around with on the way around. There are bridleways that link guise lye to the chevin but no idea of which ones to take,

If you want the loan of a guide book I'm only a few miles away

Failing that - Old Hollings Hill then just before you descend on the road, look for the entrance to Esholt Woods on the left. Get over fence, follow the path to the right and play around on the descents

Eventually make your way back over the hill to the rocky climb back up to Guiseley

Hi Chris and happy Christmas ๐Ÿ™‚ I'd come along the valley and meet you for a ride but I've got family stuff to do tomorrow unfortunately.

Best bet for a quick fix would be to head to Esholt for a play on the mini dh lines and perhaps up to Thackley pump track and jumps.

If you're free on Saturday morning I'm riding with Jason from Hebden Bridge.
