[#7756450]

I'm visiting the inlaws and looking for a ride to join tomorrow in Kirklees or Calderdale tomorrow morning? Are there any rides I can tag along?

Cheers
Rich

Not sure of any organised rides but I will probably head out in the morning for a couple of hours from Hebden. What kind of riding do you like to do?

Can be fast as you like, a nice bit of technical singletrack, no massively keen on big jumps. What time you heading out?

OK sweet we can do that ๐Ÿ™‚ - meet you in the the main square at 10am? Probably only planning to be out for a couple of hours as I'm doing a big ride on Sunday. I'll be on a blue Capra.

Email in profile.

Ah. A bit late for me, leaving my 3 kids all morning might lead to an unhappy wife/life. Any chance of getting out a bit earlier? Ideally 8am. No worries if not, I'll have a look on Strava and go exploring.

Jonny thanks but doubt I'll get there that early.

Grum, see you at 8am in the main square. Can you text me if you change your mind? I've sent an email with my number. Can you text me if you change your mind? I'll be leaving Mirfield at 0715.

No worries. Good to meet you both. Just need a bit more rain up on the moors to really get those trails in peak condition. ๐Ÿ™‚

Great ride, thanks chaps. I thought the rain over Easter would've wrecked some of those trails, couldn't believe how dusty it was on the tops. I've just about finished cleaning the dust off my bike. The council just phoned, they want to know why the river needs dredging again already...
