I think the guys at Ride-On organise rides, might be worth asking in there. There's also these guys as well - Industrial Fell Biking

If you fancy a run out any time in the evening I can show you some good short but reasonably challenging routes on the South East of the town, typically 6 or 8 miles but will get your heart rate up and give you chance to brush up your skills!

There should be tons of pack hourse trails around the Burnley area.

There is, it's absolutely riddled with them. I can string several routes together in the Calderdale/South Pennines area, all about 25 to 30 miles and 95% off road.

Yeah my wife was involved with a proiect to map the network of pack horse trails about 15 years ago( yikes). there was tons round the Calderdale valley, Rochdale, Bacup and Burnley area. Shame I dont live closer or I'd tag along with you and Matt.
have a blast fellas !
