Only really currently know Harewood and meanwood valley but there must be a few more places. Anyone know any good routes? The more technical and fun the better. A gxp would be great.

Get out and explore - you won't be disappointed.

There's quite a lot of good stuff around Rounday. To the west you have plenty of trails from the Chevin all the way south of Pudsey. All from you doorstep.

Buy the Leeds and the Bradford & Huddersfield OS maps. 297 and 298 if memory serves. If you're feeling a bit tight use Bing and select the OS option. Most of the woods with public access have something to offer.

If you're still stuck PM me and you can come out for a run with us, or maybe you could look up North Leeds MTB club.

Easy to loop over to Chevin through the back roads for a bit of fun. Some nice stuff over towards Colton/Temple Newsam/Aberford way as well. Though I find there's enough variations on Meanwood to keep me amused for a few hours one night a week in between short drives to ride other places.

Further away but interesting stuff to be had in the various woods off the Leeds / LIverpool canal e.g. Buck / Thackley, Calverley, Spring / Esholt etc. And Adel.

Also worth bearing in mind that no one seems to hung up about cheeky stuff ๐Ÿ˜‰
