You can be slowrider if I can be pook. I've always fancied dishing out lectures on responsible access, making shonky edits and nipping off for a struggle cuddle with hora in the bushes. Oh the perks of being self appointed keeper of the peaks 8)

That one you've plotted, the second bit is much better from the other direction you know.

(solar, don't worry, it's a bit of tongue in cheek silliness, no one knows what the route it yet. I'm sure Chis will deliver a pearler).

All the previous starting points have been near enough a station to ride to, can't imagine this one wouldn't be.

yeah near a station.

There are three descents in contention for inclusion. I exclude any one of them and the ride's about the right length.

They are all
a) very good
b) very popular with pootles
c) fun!

what to do....what to do???

All THREE! All THREE!! Yeah! that sounds good.... If you [i]have[/i] to chose just one i would:
Get THREE people to toss THREE coins then get THREE other people to decide on which THREE routes to take. Then i'd chose the THIRD one!

.....yeah, that sounds about right...

oh and 4..

Nice to see you are still doing the pootles, I came along once on a Kona cx bike and broke my front wheel, it was snowy.

I have another cx bike now, wheel isn't broken yet, so might come along, see if I can repeat it.

So, what is the route?

I'm choosing from the Hora route guide.

Route three is clockwise from the car to the toilets, bump a kerb, change gears on someone else's bike, get in car, drive home.

It'll be fun.

Huzzah! Who is that idiot on the road bike?

Nice, but I prefer the one that goes down, down, down, down, ice cream, down, pub, down, down, pie shop, down, down, pub.

Don't mind a down, along, down, along, down, pint, down, along, ice cream, pie shop, bike shop, pint either.

Just found out I won't have the car, so might only be able to come along if near a station or a lift is available from Holmfirth.
