The course is a challenging one (as you'd expect) and consists of approx. 30 miles of local paths, tracks, bridleways and lanes around the picturesque Colne Valley area of Huddersfield - regularly featured on TV as settings for Last Of The Summer Wine and Where The Heart Is.

The cost of entry is £15 pre-booked (entry forms available at [www.cvmbc.co.uk]) and £20 on the day - although we do encourage pre-booking as it greatly assists the organisation of the event.

All participants will receive a free commemorative T-Shirt and certificate upon completion. The course will be fully marshalled throughout and will have 4 refreshment stops at designated points. There will also be a back-up vehicle available for anyone who wishes to (or is forced to!!) retire early.

Bacon Butties will be on sale beforehand at a nominal £1.00 each, but apart from these EVERYTHING ELSE refreshment wise (soup, bread, bananas, flap-jack, biscuits, coffee, tea etc etc) is FREE. Yes FREE. There is also a brilliant little pub - The Walkers Arms - situated on site, so those that wish to can partake of a pint (or two) if so desired.

So, to sum it up - it's a 30 mile challenging MTB ride, fully marshalled, fully 'catered' and absolutely FANTASTIC VALUE, with a pub on site to finish the day off as well. You won't find a better day out in this area on the 9th May. Come and give it a go - you've nothing to lose and we're absolutely certain that you'll be well looked after and have a great time.]]> The_Sanity_Assassin Industrial Fell Biking Tue, 06 Apr 2010 23:48:02 +0100 http://www.industrialfellbiking.co.uk/forum/read.php?2,2004,2004#msg-2004 http://www.industrialfellbiking.co.uk/forum/read.php?2,2004,2004#msg-2004 ta. simon (0796 9086136)]]> simon manc Industrial Fell Biking Wed, 15 Jul 2009 12:09:03 +0100 http://www.industrialfellbiking.co.uk/forum/read.php?2,2002,2003#msg-2003 http://www.industrialfellbiking.co.uk/forum/read.php?2,2002,2003#msg-2003 www.badforum.co.uk]]]> MrSparkle Industrial Fell Biking Wed, 15 Apr 2009 18:28:54 +0100 http://www.industrialfellbiking.co.uk/forum/read.php?2,2002,2002#msg-2002 http://www.industrialfellbiking.co.uk/forum/read.php?2,2002,2002#msg-2002
The course is a challenging one (as you'd expect) and has been amended this year, with permission from local land owners, to incorporate more off-road sections.

ive only just got back into biking after a good 10-12 year break! no where near as fit as i once was!!
I live in rochdale (fairly new to the area) and usually go up rooley moor road and up past the windmills and old quarry but i want to find a decent loop to go in that area.
Any suggestions? or a website i can use to find routes? ive been bought a satmap active 10 for xmas that i havent really played with yet so any routes with co-ords would be handy also!!

Cheers.]]> shavendwarf Industrial Fell Biking Wed, 18 Feb 2009 08:34:05 +0000 http://www.industrialfellbiking.co.uk/forum/read.php?2,1998,1998#msg-1998 http://www.industrialfellbiking.co.uk/forum/read.php?2,1998,1998#msg-1998
Just a quick question about where you all ride, and when. I have had a look at the site and i can not see any ware where the ride list is, that is if there is one.

I live in darwen, I think MrSparkle Knows me I used to ride for Tony at Darwen Cycles (the one near mayfield flats)...

I did the Hit the North This weekend was great :)

Hoping to get out riding more than i have been over the last months, i have been riding with B**trotters and Blackburn and District.

Cheers,

If it doesn't work then go on Google maps and put Whinberry Naze in. It should show you where the farm is on the way up to the Naze and you'll be able to work it out from there.

The idea is to take it steady and get some snaps on the way up, then ride part-way down (while you all wait) and get some more snaps as you all come past on the rocky section.

I don't know for sure what the weather will be like - but I'm always optimistic!
