Riding North of Huddersfield?

Anyone riding around North Hudds, Outlane way this weekend?

Or anyone recomend any good routes to go and try?

I've not ridden this side of Huddersfield much and could do with some company or ride ideas! I've ridden the Stanedge trail btw, and that's stunning.

I was out in North Huddersfield this weekend. It was hot work today.

I know a few routes in that area. Drop me a line if you want details.

I've ridden that area quite a bit (live near the centre of Huddersfield) normally further out on the moors though. PM me or catch me on msn if you want fng@hotmail.co.uk

dthom3, I'd love to know some good routes. I'm starting to plot the routes I know on bikehike.co.uk but they aren't very many! If you get a chance drop me some details of good tracks and I can route them together.
Platano, I drive and am happy to get up to the moors, can you start me off on some areas to look at on OS?

bluechair84, this one isn't bad although I've only done the top half so far.

Where it turns off the A640 you can also take the Pennine way over the opposite side of the road. I heads over to the top of Denshaw/Sadleworth M62 junction by the telephone mast thing.
From there you can go down the hill either side of the M62 towards Rochdale (car park side is tricky if wet but the other side is good) or you could head as far over as Studley Pike/Hebdon Bridge if you want.
I cant find anything all that great Outlane which is a shame because I wouldn't need to drive then. Just a few short bits and bobs

Have you tried these? I'm doing the latter this weekend. I haven't done both loops as of yet.

Yep I'm from Outlane. The two rides you've posted are practically the same as the two I was describing above lol.

That bikehike.co.uk looks good, I will have to sign up.

yeah I thought they might be. If your heading out anywhere interesting let us know. I'm going to keep plotting what routes I find on bikehike, it's a pretty descent site.
I keep seeing this beautiful peice of singletrack from the motorway west beyond scammonden reservoir but I just can't find it on the OS...
