Lancashire, Cumbria W-Yorkshire Night Rides

If there’s a better place to ask this, please direct me.
Myself and @inwoods are up for some night rides mid week in the NW of the UK. It’d be great to get a regular group ride going.
Looking to hit Gisburn this Wednesday night. Any takers?

Damn it! Haven't been on the forum for a while and have just seen your post.
Let me know if you're planning any more rides - I'd like to try the short Settle loop by night.

I'm up for that @Jackware as long as you or @Wheelie_King know the way

Had a awesome first ride out around Gisburn.

 

[Wheelie_King]

Absolutely!!
I was thinking of heading out to Great Hill/Darwen Tower etc next time.

Where does the Settle route go?

Where does the Settle route go?

It's a great loop with a steep road climb out of the town that soon cuts across the moors with a few rocky climb sections, then a return on flowy singletrack. You can then finish by dropping back into Settle by a short road descent or through some fields on a bridleway. It's not too long (about 9 miles) but has a bit of everything.

I tried to upload gpx of the route but it failed? However the Pedalnorth website lists it;

Settle Loop mtb | pedalnorth

(I cut off the 'hammerhead' around Malham though)
