So I have a confession. Despite living only 7mike away or so I’d not done this ride or much local riding, thinking it was bound to be inferior to the Dales or Calderdale.
So today with the car at the garage seemed a perfect opportunity to explore from the door. Over Baildon Moor and Shipley Glen to the canal towpath to pick up the Bingley Bash. And it was great. Not sure if it is in the top 5 Yorkshire rides (if I was coming from elsewhere) but great fun and superb riding.
Quiet roads, rocky byways, pleasant farmtracks, woodland singletrack and moorland tracks. And a couple of bike parks. During the ride I saw wild moorland, pretty woodland, industrial heritage, world heritage, urban decay, urban regeneration and suburbia. And a lot of golf courses. All this within Bradford MDC area.
I will be exploring some more!!
