Last time I did Cavedale I cleared it. First time in many a year, but I was a happy happy man!
I normally dab two or three times.
It is fun though.

It's certainly interesting on ice

Still up for this at the moment!

I've only ever done Cavedale once, on my first ever trip to the Peak after having only ever ridden trailcentres. Scared me a bit!

Bump this back up.
Almost certainly on this now
First MTB ride of the year so I suspect i'll bail a few times 
Posted 3 months ago # -
Yep, its an in for me.
Ah, i remember Cavedale in the ice.....no rocks, just sheet ice!!

I'm out, doc's put the unreasnoble caveat on my riding of "no crashing" untill the end of Fenuary at the earliest :'(

@TINAS - 25th of Feb IS nearly the end of Feb?
Posted 3 months ago # -
Is there a station anywhere near?
And mre to the point what are they like with you taking bikes on the train?
Posted 3 months ago # -
Station in Edale, IF that's where it's starting

Alternatively, someone might give a lift from Sheffield or Manchester way if you can get there
Posted 3 months ago # -
I'm already in Manchester (Sale) went carless about a month ago and not been on the MTB since*!
*fitness is at an all time high after losing use of said car

I can probably pick up from Sheffield on the way, but I've yet to experiment with fitting two bikes in the Yaris...

Yay! I have booked this day off for riding. Boo! I've already made riding plans. Might see you lot out on the hills though.

Well my next checkup is on the 24th in Reading, which puts me at the wrong end of the country that weekend too
I might keep it penciled in the Diary then I can cancel at the last minute when the missus throws a strop and I can claim some brownie points!

Hmmmmmmmmmm. Just may have a slice of this.
Posted 3 months ago # -
wonder who else will join in?
Posted 3 months ago # -
Well its to soon for me after my surgery. But you can get there by train from Manchester. Check to see if a wayfare ticket is cheaper than a return. A wayfare ticket is £10.00

How do lads n lasses, room for a n00b? I'm rubbish going up but can get down pretty good, IMO. I'll be coming from hudds way if anyone requires a lift in my sporty little two seater
van.Posted 3 months ago # -
What's a sporty two seater van?!
Posted 3 months ago # -
Its a van, it has a rugby ball in the back, and has two seats. Thats as far as it goes. Berlingo, in case you were wondering what make.
Posted 3 months ago # -
Sounds rad.
Posted 3 months ago # -
It does the job.
Posted 3 months ago # -
I'd like a van. Soon I might not need a car any more so I might trade in
Posted 3 months ago # -
They come in very handy. Even if i didnt need it for work id propbably have one anyway, so easy to chuck the bike in the back n get going, no messing with bike racks and all that malarky. We managed to get 5 bikes in the back of it with the front wheels taken off and stacked down the sides so for a little van its taken some good loads, ahem.
Only problem is the lack of seating up front but you can get three seater berlingos, although it would be very cosy and i dunno where they put the gear lever

Right, buggrit.... have just approached 2 very good, not seen in tooo long a time, friends to see if we can defer our 'prior' of the 25th..... at £106 for a service my forks need a bloody good using
Will see what the friends come back with....Posted 3 months ago # -
ooh the pressure!

Job sorted
All things being equal I shall grace you with my presence - as usual, last up the hills, last down Posted 3 months ago # -
You might have to fight me for the honour of being last up the hill, not so slow going downhill though gravity is on my side
Posted 3 months ago # -
gravity is on my side
@ 16 stone'ish in full kit, it's on mine, too.
It's just that I have to be sure to do my job - unofficial brake tester Posted 3 months ago # -
I'm pretty sure I will be up there for the steadiness award going up the hills. And down. And on the flat bits, too.
Posted 3 months ago # -
I might run this pootle in lincolnshire. Then there'll be no hills for you to fight over anyway.
Posted 3 months ago # -
Not Lincolnshire, my mum will walk along side me and nag all the way around. If i promise to let someone else be at the back can we move it back to the peaks?
Posted 3 months ago # -
Go on then. I'll see if i can find some hills out that way.
Posted 3 months ago # -
I might go on this.
