Anyone got a good route near Harrogate? Ideally technical and about 20 miles long.

Thanks

Want more a ride than a play session, plus the top half will be very wet at stainburn.

If you head over to Pateley Bridge you could do the route up around the reservoirs. I don't think any route outside a trail centre will give you 20 miles of technical challenges, but there are a couple of tricky descents and tough technical climbing too as I recall.

Done that route many times before, its a good classic ride but best saved for a warm sunny day.

I want to do a new ride on saturday but not too far from home. The trail centres are quite far away and imo not worth the drive for just the day.

I do like Ilkley moor but discounted it on boggyness.
