tight and twisty roads around brighouse
 

As title really, I'm in need of some practice on some tight stuff. Can Nyone recommend some nice short routes near brig,hudds area please?

Have you tried from outlane/ hudds up past nont sarahs pub towards oldham. Bit boring till you get past where ice cream van and hanggliders park. A few lads (including myself in past) use it to razz up and down just stopping before village so not annoying locals with noise. Sometimes people park by bridge over reservoir for a breather/chat. Easy from brighouse if you ues M62. Or bit further out go through holme village just beyond Holmfirth over the top of Holme moss and back again. Take it easy at first cos both these can catch you out if over confident!

This!
Great for a little 1.5hour evening blat, I know it well if you'd like a tour guide but bear in mind much over 90 and the drz is pretty flat out and I'll be breaking very early because they're poo.

i do the route past outlane on my way home, its very nice! at 90! no chance at 60 yes more my pace :)

its a good run but its quite wide and open, im looking for something a bit twisier really.

Seriously, Riding from holme to glossop has fantastic roads. Head a bit further a field and take on snake pass too.

Re: tight and twisty roads around brighouse
 

aye but i think it could be a little too far to tie into my run home :D

Re: tight and twisty roads around brighouse
 

ahhh rite see i didnt get that from your OP, I thougth you were looking for somewhere to go to not to encorporate... erm

the road next to the mill where you cross the ford and head up through the hills - the top end comes out opposite willow valley golf club.

other than that nope, and thats not really worth it tbh.

Re: tight and twisty roads around brighouse
 

yea sorry about that. im looking to stay within an hours radius really.

Scammonden?

Re: tight and twisty roads around brighouse
