There's plenty of trans pennine trail in the area, not exactly inspiring but you can do a loop from the stair foot/town centre area that is 60% TPT and the rest is nice trails. Best bet for a good ride out is to ride to the train station, get a train to penistone, ride the upper don trail straight into grenoside/wharncliffe, you won't be short of fun round there.
