Looking for a new challenge in West Yorkshire

[Gary Coyle]

Looking to try something new locally in west yorkshire, was thinking along the lines of cyclo cross, Moto Cross or something similar, anyone know of anything like that in and around West Yorkshire

I believe there is a track on the road just past the National Coal Mining museum, have researched it myself before but never got there.

Armthorpe and Finningley race motox over the winter.
You'll need to contact the clubs though to get closer as the spectator area is too far away from the track

Thanks guys, looks interesting

Hi Gary, take a look on the british cycling website for any events near your neck of the woods. https://www.britishcycling.org.uk/events?&zuv_bc_discipline_filter_id=4

Luck, Stew.

Hi gary
My son does motox, the track near mining museum is run by white rose mx
They have a website, the track is called grange moor its only open on race days
Fat cats finningley and kieraden park are the main 3 open all year every weekend
The latter 3 all have resident toggs
There is a very large off road centre at tong cant remember the name something like parkwood
They have enduro meetings also have 4x4 offroading
For info get a copy of trials and motox news it comes out weekly it has all the race dates for pretty much the whole country also contains the contact info

Ah, that's a shame mate... looks like it could have been quite a interesting days shooting as well

No money in either... Any motocross events are overun with photogrpahers ..I ahve been to a few for local paper... lots of walking and climbing round quarries and stuff.. get some great action...but like I say..over run with photogrpahers from pro to amatuer.. everyone has a camera at these
