Looking for some local info on any good off road biking routes in local area. Hoping to get out some evenings. Anyone got any local routes they would share?
Hope you have a car. We were there a couple of years ago on holiday. Nearest decent riding was 10-15 miles away.
Not much round that area that i know of but you can get to hetchell woods in bardsey from boston spa without too much road stuff. Its not very technical and not much in the way of descents but its a good for a blast. Like someone else said its best to drive somewhere or do a bit of road stuff to harewood/sicklinghall where you can link a few bits up.
There's nothing complicated but plenty of b/ways to link up.
Get an O/S map & go exploring. If you don't go, you'll never know!
Not techy, but go over the Wharfe and there are lots of Bridleways to the north, round Wighill and up towards Tockwith.
Heading out east of Tadcaster there's a nice farmtrack loop near Towton that's my local winter, can't be arsed driving anywhere route.
There are a few routes out between Wetherby and Harrogate.
As mentioned above, dig out an OS Map and string together a few bridleways.
Nice enough for evening runs if you know where to look.
Not sure if they've repaired the bridleway bridge over the Wharfe but there used to be a decent route out to Harewood (mainly offroad).
Some trails down to Bramham Park and above Collingham too.
No 5 mile singletrack descents though.
Edit - Old London Road heading north out of Towton is fun, if short.
