We’re starting from Ladybower at 830am is spare/doesnt fancy riding alone tomorrow

half nine in hope – we may meet!! What you riding?

I really want to, but PE moderation on monday = bad idea riding this weekend. Maybe a short one… 🙂

Hagg farm, fairholmes, slabs, down the back of the Inn and singletrack off hope cross. I’m on a orange Santa cruz/white fox/GSOH

I’m riding to the shop tomorrow and the shop is in the Peaks.

matt – can you give me a hand setting my suspension up tomorrow per chance please (emailed si)

popping in at 9 to get a mech hanger

Yeah, should be able to sort something out. I’ll probably be a little later than 9, maybe nearer half past but I’ll see you there

cool – cheers Matt (cash or beer?)

RR you can set your own up?!!! Just run it up and down sessioning a section of trail making adjustments until it feels right to you!

Not drinking at the mo but cake always goes down well 😉

hora – i made a conscious decision many moons ago to ignore all advice from you

So a post-ride communal bath for all the guys a la footballers still isn’t your thing

Me riding in the Peaks tomorrow.

Not sure where to be honest – we normally ride from Hope station, up a rocky climb, then down (I think) The Beast….and eventually end up at Ladybower (by all the ducks) for lunch. We then go off round the reservoir & up that National Trust slabby climb.

But, we thought we’d try something different, so I’ve dug out an old MBR route that starts from Hayfield. I’d love to tell you where it goes, but I can’t remember off hand & the map’s upstairs.

Anyway – I’ll be on the Carbon Stumpjumper FSR with red bits on it & my mate will be on a blue Coiler. Feel free to shout abuse at us, as we mince along…

I would love to come, I need to christen my new SC Butcher…….only finished building her up last night but Im at work this weekend! I bet its nice and dry up there as well!!

Mate has managed to get this route on his Garmin:

so this is the one we’ll be doing…just need to set an alarm as I leave the house by 7am latest….

Fookin hell that was me that was, until children’s birthday invite…anyone want to buy a rocky, A1 cond.

[list]I’ll be out +1 but not until 10.30ish
Not sure where poss Hayfield, Mount Famine, Rushup Edge, Mam Tor, Jacobs Ladder
poss Ladybower area – Hope Cross, Hagg, Lockerbrook etc
will be on a Ti Commencal hardtail and a Ti Brodie hardtail

Hora – Whinstone lee tor and Cut throat from above slabs to the pub was absolutely thrashed the other week, the track is just getting wider and wider, best avoided if possible at the moment is my view

Iain looking at the stone strikes its a very busy route now

I think wlt – cutthroat needs some tlc. Even maybe fencing to control the sprawl

The original line through the rocks is mostly fine and still there, people just ride round it because they’re lazy and after a cheap speed thrill. What’s needed are minefields. 😐

I’m surprised they haven’t ‘cut gated’ it, such a busy route for all users

Fantastic. This is why I ride

You mean you actually enjoy being close to passing out on the way up and mincing like a jeyer yet still being terrified on the way down? Takes all sorts I suppose…

If it gets me close to you Tom? Aye. 8)
