Just a few routes for the summer.
With the Moorcock Inn Rooley Moor Road being the scene of many a bare knuckle fight, baited on by a pack of drunken quarry men. It’s only fitting that this new bunch of downhills are given the names of the champions, who where only images on fag cards to the men who laboured on these moors.

So how can you find the best downhill? The IFB’s new Percy Robertshaw route includes the first 2 km of the downhill.

With the Bronte Bridleway MBR Killer Loop off limits, a word from Phil Bombadil had prompted the IFB to investigate a notice by Bradford Council of a footpath upgrade near Oxenhope.
Not ones for the easy option the IFB posse decided to start at Blazing Saddles and revisit the entire classic loop of Oxenhope Moor. The result of this positive action by Bradford Council has remove the need to use the horrible tarmac down into Oxenhope and up Shaw and Lee lanes. It also opens up some excellent track from Top of Stones to Bodkin Lane.
