There is plenty to do around Norland Moor, you could head up there and head out towards Ringstone and Rishworth, when will you be about?

Sowerby Bridge > canal to Salterhebble > road to West Vale > nice climb up through North Dean Woods all the way to the top of Shit Spreader Hill > footpath along the top of the woods towards Norland > cut into the woods and do the Terrible Turns trail back to hairpin on Shit Spreader Hill > climb up to the top > BW to Norland and over the moor > road to Barkisland and then short BW stretch over towards Krumlin > road up to the Saddleworth Rd > straight over and through the trees before a nice little descent to the road > down Cockpit Lane > BW all the way along the valley back towards Barkisland > up Fiddle Lane > road towards Norland but turn left and good BW descent all the way to the main road just outside Ripponden > a looooong gradual downhill on the road to finish on back into Sowerby Bridge (or instead of dropping down there, continue on the road at the top and drop down Norland Moor, Babyhead Alley, Wireworks and canal back to Sowerby Bridge.
