Starting: Trycycling, Kirkburton (HD8 0NX)

One of my own local (to me anyway) favourite rides. Lots of countryside dropping right down to Cannon Hall. Then climbing all the way back via High Hoyland, Clayton West (with a bit of track suitable for a road bike) and Emley.

Starting: Fartown Bar (HD2 2QA)

Be aware… it always rains on the way to Sunny Vale. Riding over the top to Brighouse and thru to the other side to find Sunny Vale. Then climbing above Shibden Hall onto Southowram and back through another side of Brighouse.

Starting: Paddock Head (HD1 4RB)

Yet another favourite of mine. A longer ride onto Bolster Moor and Golcar Lily. Via Pole Moor and over the very high motorway bridge to Scammonden reservoir. Long drag up to Buckstones Moss and then a long, long flowing descent all the way back to Huddersfield makes it all worthwhile. I hope the sun shines this year.

Starting: Cambridge Rd Car Park/Huddersfield (HD1 5BX)

This is the best ride to invite any reluctant cyclists to join us.

The flattest ride of the season via the greenways and onto Ravensthorpe subway via the park. Time for a bite at the Subway and then back the way we came.

Not just Holme Moss, but the mountain climb included in the 2014 Tour De France. The strong group go to the top and carry on down and round t’other side. The rest of us stop at the top, take in the views and then enjoy the ride back downhill to Honley.

Starting: Waterloo Morrisons (HD5 8QW)

Taking us out towards Stocksmoor and Fulstone and then some smaller back roads to join the Jackson Bridge/Cheesgate Nab climb about a third of the way up. On a good night it’s a glorious valley and climb and well worth a visit. After a rest at the top it’s almost all downhill back home.

Starting: Somerset Bridge, Huddersfield (HD5 9AD)

A favourite start straight up the long steep climb of Deep Lane. Via Blackmoorfoot reservoir and Meltham and then another steep climb to get over to Honley, and back to Milnsbridge. Lumpier than it sounds.

Same start as the ride to Compo’s via Netherthong and Upperthong. But then going via Wilshaw and nearly Meltham. Across and down to Digley Dam and up to Holme. And another relaxing ride down to Honley making it all worthwhile.
