Englands longest green lane is widely accepted to be the Rudland Rigg, up in Yorkshire. Once a medieval horse track on a ridge line, the longest green lane is as close to 10 miles as you can make it. Rudland Rigg is a simple, non-technical track. it might even sound boring, but it really isn't.

As a relative newbie to offroad, I loved riding Rudland Rigg a few weeks ago. Stunning views and nothing too tricky meant I was able to get my confidence and figure out better body positioning etc. Having ridden it one way and then back again, my offroad confidence and skills improved massively in just a couple of hours 👍

@@lightweightadv cheers. Also, about half way across Rudland Rigg there is a crossroads with trickier sections both East and West (Monket Bank from memory). Plus nearby Glaisdale Rigg so a great location for a days playing 👍

Rudland rigg underwent a huge amount of maintainence a few years ago and made it essenitally easy mode, they dragged all the larger loose boulders to the edges and dag drainage ditches down the side of the trail becuase it used to flood and turn in to massive muddy pits, it was ace. back in the day the last section was like a huge rock staircase was could be quite tricky, some of the steps were like a foot high, ive come accross people way out of their element on that bit back then, but it actually quite a relaxing ride now on a summer evening it great. I find it best ridden north to south and if you hit the speed bumps fast enough they are quite good jumps :D
@lightweightadv
@lightweightadv Год назад
Ah, that explains a lot actually, we had heard of the steps, but when we got there, they were gone! Yep, really great lane, lots of fun. Even managed to get the CRF in the air at one point 👌🏻

Great vid guys. I’ll give him 5.8 for the ‘dismount’ at the end although not up to Jurgen Klinsmann levels yet! 😂 The UK has some of the most ‘technical’ byways based on the fact that nobody maintains them so the surfaces get worse and worse until the local council either repairs them (😂😂😂😂) sorry, had to have a laugh there, or closes them. Nice to see one with a decent surface and thanks for that. I’d love to have a go on that one!
@lightweightadv
@lightweightadv Год назад
It was the flourish at tye end that cynched it. You ah, it's a tightrope between "maintaining" / regrading lanes and leaving them be. If they're a road, as they all are in a way, they have work from time to time 🤷🏻‍♂️. You should definitely take a ride up there, it's a beautiful place
@SteveInskip
@SteveInskip Год назад
@@lightweightadv I take your point, but you do need a licence, road tax and insurance to ride all of them so they should be classed as roads, metalled or not. Regrading them and closing them is far too easy for me. Actually they are hardly bothering to repair the village roads nowadays so my hope will no doubt be in vain. Anyway, keep at it guys and keep working on the dismounts! If you could put an ‘in-air’ twist in there somewhere you’d get a perfect 6. 😉😂👍

@colinlow1167
@colinlow1167 Год назад
@@lightweightadv It is near me so I use it all the time to keep in shape :-) The nearest map point to the north end is Cotswold Airport, and it runs SW in a dead straight line (its a Roman Road) in the direction of Bath. It's not technical, apart from a large ford across the Avon, which you can bypass (I've seen a few drowned bikes there). There's another lane, the Macmillan Way, which extends it a few more miles - narrow, rutted in parts. Both are on the TET.

Is this dooable for a rank amateur (off-road) rider on a big fat old air-cooled 1200GS? 😊

Absolutely. Just be aware it's much steeper at one end than the other (depending on which direction you ride it obviously)

Thanks mate. Yeah I’d rather do it north to south. I gather there’s a track going west about half way along that makes for an easier way if you go south to north.
