It seemed like a good idea... follow 'Cy's Train-ing ride' in the Peak, as featured in this month's ST. As it happens, I've only got a 'cross bike to ride for the moment, you see.
So after riding out to Hope from Sheffield centre and riding up hill and down dale, it eventually occured to me, as dusk was falling and peices of my kidney were possibly being sheared off as they collided with my ribcage - an effect of the almost constant altercations with rock-shaped babies' heads happily lining every trail, that perhaps insisting on following such a full-on route on a 'cross bike wasn't really such a good idea afterall... I mean, the climb out of Hope had been fun, but the rest? Hmmm..
Are there any routes more rewarding than this in the Peak - suitable for such a commited steed?
