i would generally be doin something not too far from oulton hall on a sunday, but i'll be up at gisburn this weekend.

maybe next time ๐Ÿ˜‰

if you're actually staying at oulton hall you could just tear-arse down the golf course on sunday! ...might not go down too well with the golfist types tho??

Not sure if I will have the legs for that distance, also must remind myself I'm still on the mend with a broken collar bone, managed a good 3hr ride last Wednesday afternoon/eve without an issue though!

if your doing a 3/4 hour ride i would recomened a loop up through the country park. into fanny pit, then down blackroad into tempy. up the brown cow road. down bullethorpe lane. then back through tempy woods down some of the trails in there. back onto black road then ride back towards bullethorpe lane and down the canal back into oulton/rothwell/woodlesford. i would show you the route but im busy this weekend.
