Monday, peaks or lakes. If lakes out of stavely then you can park at wheelbase and either end off in wilfs cafe or the brewery next door. Don't know anywhere in the peaks so if there are suitable places such as this then there will do also. As I won't be travelling the furthest then I will go with the flow if people have stronger opinions on travel times.
edit: sorry Gaz just seen the above and lakes would be a long run for you and expensive if you are on your own. If you did want to go but break journey up there are a couple of spare beds at ours with overnight alarmed secure storage for bikes and I could share cost from here.

Worth going just for a look in Wheelbase & coffee & cake in Wilfs !
The best customer service I have experienced anywhere in Wheelbase ..who rescued the Bowderdale Forum ride ( half of it ) for me earlier this year ...
Sadly I'm staying fairly local ...

Where's hebden bridge John ? Where's Hebden bridge, it's only the cultural capital of UK mountain biking. Also known as that pokey but pretty little place just off the m62 through Halifax way from your side. About 30 minutes from Leeds. Some good xc with varied terrain, techy downs, flies bits and horrible climbs if you like those kind of things. 95% is okay for any weather. If we don't get chance for this time frame I'm happy to show you around sometime in the future. |

What time you doing Chase on Xmas day dude? I was gonna head up on my Tod early ish morning I've got to make Xmas dinner and the OH is working 9-2. So the earliest would be 9:30 at Swinnos. She'll be well pissed if i've been riding all day and there's no dinner. LOL. What you thinking? I was gonna head there for 9 ish dude iv gotta be back for 1 ish anyway So half 9 at swinnos is fine by me And think gaz means Hes doing the run and ride event on Tue 3rd Free event meeting at run and ride in the morning and a huge group ride round some various sections there's like 90 people interested in going should be a laugh and a nice relaxed ride round |
