training rides in Leeds

satan80

i'm in West Leeds, Horsforth area, and looking for anyone to go for 2/3 hour training rides with on a weekend.

Just started going outdoors after a loooong winter on the turbo, so although i'm a beginner i'm pretty fit and can handle a good pace.

I usually just head out towards Otley way and thrash around the hills aimlessly for a couple of hours then inevitably get lost, so would be good to ride with someone who has a bit of knowledge of the area and can show me some decent loops (flat and hilly)

Not keen on joining a club cause
a) i'm pretty anti social :?

and

b) i don't fancy going on a 4 hour 'steady' ride, i want to go at a good pace for a couple of hours and that's it

Drop me a message if you're in a similar position...

cheers

Hi Satan (being a good Catholic boy I was hoping never have to say that), I live in Meanwood and am also a lone plodder in the hills and lanes around Harewood, Otley and Ilkley.

I have never joined a club as I am never free when the club runs are organised, as I have to fit my rides in and around having three kids. I generally go out either very early on a Sunday (7am if I manage to get out of bed) or 10.30ish if I get a pass out from the firebreather.

So even if we couldn't meet up I maybe able to suggest a few goods runs out, although really I just go online and draw up routes on www.bikehike.co.uk or www.bikeroutetoaster.com and head for the hills.
