I have a Vitus e sommet, not much near home but Hebden bridge, Dales etc are all good

Cool! I have the Vitus E-sentier. Would be great to compare. Definitely meet up if your free at some point in future Nd see if anyone else is available

Been a few times but not since the new trail opened in the woods.
Not ridden the ebike there but would be ideal for the trails. Lacks a little flow on a regular bike.
The pump track & BMX race track are fun and the cafe is really good.

I’m based near Leeds, would be up for a group meet up somewhere. New phase of LUBP is infinitely better than the first bit. Similar to Lady Cannings but more there to keep you entertained for a few hours.

@myskovon hi dude where are you on about that’s like lady cannings.
I ride lady cannings quite a bit and I’m looking for something similar around Yorkshire to ride.
I’m from sheffield so Leeds is pretty close.

Leeds urban bike park man, free parking, good cafe, about a 4/5 mile loop if you did all the trails but it’s real easy to just link and session the better sections. It’s close by the white rose centre.

I’ve looked for this on YouTube videos but they don’t do it justice.
I’d be up for a group ride out there if people are interested.
Sounds like you’d be a good guide too knowing the trails.

Yeah it’s dead straight forward once you’re there to navigate, but I’m always up for a group ride so I’d be up for that. ?

Can you night ride it too that would be cool

You could but I’m not sure what time they lock the gates at this time of year. No disrespect to any locals either but anyone who knows Middleton would probably advise you not to ride a £3k+ ebike through the woods there solo at night ??

Don’t know the area dude so I trust your judgment on the night riding.
God help anyone trying to steel my bike though (fight till the death ??⛏?⚰️???)
Defo on for meeting up for a group ride in the near future though @Bongofish and any others riders nearby ??

They are both great too, but honestly dude if you’ve not been to LUBP since phase 2 it’s a lot closer so Greno and Wharny than it first was for enjoyment levels ?

What about Stainburn? I know a lot was closed out there when they logged the forest seems quite a bit is open again judging by the Guy Kesteven videos.

They did a load of work on Steel City DH for this years Peaty gathering. I haven’t been there since the upgrades but it looks ace.

The black was pretty much fully reinstated when I was there about a month back so potentially fully sorted now.
