Hello from Halifax

[babsy]

Just a quick hello from me. I am a complete novice when it comes to cycling apart from having a mtb when I was a teenager I haven't rode since.. I have just purchased a Boardman team hybrid and are hoping to get fitter lose weight there will be plenty of questions from me in the beginner section as I hopefully soak up some good info and tips from the more experienced.

Hi, from just down the road!

Ride up Cragg Vale a couple of times a week, and that will soon build up your fitness!

One of my favourite local rides is up the hill, left at Blackstone Edge, whiz down the A58 towards Ripponden, but take the first left along Blue Ball Lane, and keep bearing left round to Hubberton Green and Boulder Clough, then down Scout Road back to Mytholmroyd.

I usually use the Calder Valley Cycleway between HB and 'royd to avoid the traffic.
