There are these on Baildon Bank

Gringerd

Know the ones you mean now - have seen them from the bottom.

Yes you would need to be brave and talented to ride them (neither of which I have in abundance) but you missed out the essential suicidal tendancy requirement and possibly a parachute.

Don't like the look of the Baildon ones either Pennine!

Mick, yeah close thing.

It's 'cos there was a post on STW saying there were only 50 places left - made me get my finger out, as did everyone else apparently - sold out next day.

Stairs, aye, noticed them Baildon ones - they do look a sod of climb...

One of the trails up to those Baildon steps is an entertainingly challenging climb as well.

These steps here do have the bonus of a nicely placed nettle bush at the bottom to catch you,

and can lead you via some fun woodsy stuff to 

I have these at the end of my street. Not too steep but long and only get 3ft to stop in before hitting the bus route. 

Gill (and anyone else daft enough), I'm riding tonight from Timble Ings crossroads (gravel park on left) @ 7:30 - 7:45.

I'm not pushing this as an 'official' Nth Lds run 'cos there's no pub involved (none near enough!) plus it may have more mud, tech & bog content than some might like.

I have no bikes

well, working mountain bikes anyway

there's also a ride from Edd's shop in Rodley (got lost a few pages back)...

"if anyone is interested, I was planning a ride on thursday from the shop/barge pub in rodley. at 7ish pm.

going round horsforth, cookridge, adel, meanwood, horsforth, rodley.

should be fun.

lights a must."

Timble Ings sounds good to me, sure to find plenty of lovely mud.

doubt there'll be nettles tho'.

just thought, we can always pop into The Spite on the way back - if needed like ; )

Ride from Rodley looks good for me, not going to make it to Sourbridge on time

assume the shop is the one out the window by the lock?

wait for me! i may be delayed by a few mins getting ready!

bollocks. just noticed the 7ish time on the post on the Rodley ride. i got there at 7:25 expecting a 7:30 ride. still i meandered round Roundhay Park in the dark instead. it was kind of fun.

will look more carefully at the time for the next ride i promise. hope you didn't wait too long

Counting the days Greenville before the froggy arrives along with a DH and the lady 514.

No worries Joe, I aim to ride again on thursday night next week from the Princess in rawdon, around the chevin, will set off at 7 ish again, 7:15 latest departure time.
