Long story, very boring - not from around here etc.

Short story, anyone get out in groups around here?

If not, maybe start one? Nothing hardcore, no ego, just some time out on the bikes - get the partners out too if wanted (obviously not for those that use cycling to escape!)

Just to ride some singletrack, take in some views & have a pint-stop.

Terrible idea? Or potential?

I'm from Huddersfield and always up for new group rides and routes, there's a Facebook group called mountain bike shenanigans which ride most Tue/Thur/Sundays around Calderdale and Marsden area, plus occasional trail centre trips.

Yep, I've ridden a couple of times with the old Team Bad and once or twice with Daves. I know Andrew from Birkenshaw, I have the barber shop in the village.

Actually speaking of near Huddersfield. Im in Penistone and wouldnt mind knowing of some spots out that way or group riding. To be honest with you guys I build bikes and only get to ride on road because I dont know anywhere! (Or anyone)

crag, are you too embarassed to mention that you are actually involved with bad brains? that post looked like it was something you'd discovered by chance whilst surfing the net, probably looking for something entirely different 😯

for anyone interested in riding with bad brains, please be advised that crag is infact our club secretary, and will be only too pleased to accept membership proposals via his email address which is probably being hastily removed from his profile as we speak 😆

woody, i think you've got yer 'daves' and 'james' mixed up 😉
