If it's now a show and tell, this is the kind of local stuff I was talking about. Short but sweet.

No more than 2 miles to the braes(all up hill though!). Train through to mugdock is 30minutes. Or 10/15miles or so if I cycle out. Been a while since my fat arse done that though! 😆 concentrating on the canal at the mo trying to get a semblance of fitness back! Need to start aiming for hills at some point!

Probably .5 mile from a good one. Depressingly i don’t even had a kom on that one. I did work hard.

All my mountain bike interesting off road riding involves a drive of 20 minutes or more. On the flip side I can be sailing or kayaking from a less than ten minute walk.

It's probably the reason I've ridden so little lately. Love it once I'm out but the thought of driving and the inevitable load/unload fatf - bleuch!

Up the top of my street, through the churchyard, and into a small section of woody singletrack. It's ok rather than decent, but good for starters. Or in the other direction, 3 mins on the road before a great, varied section ... ancient cobbles buried amongst the dirt, fast, flowy, jumping off cobbled lips or roots, culminating in a steep, rocky descent to a wooden bridge over a stream. So much good stuff in and around north Leeds ... You can have a belting 1 hour blast or a full day loop. Or there's a wealth of technically much easier trails, but which are a hoot flat out on a CX/gravel bike.
