    The sharp eyed amongst you may have noticed a few clues over the past fortnight or so, but I think it’s about time we had another Peaks Pootle!

    So, on November 2nd we’ll have a little run out from Hope, 10am. Meet at the car park next to the loos – conveniently across the road from the woodbine cafe and 18 Bikes.

    As always, it’s a social affair – cakes are encouraged – and the normal Pootle principles stand ( though I can’t find th original ones, my Google fu is week today)

    Basically…

    If you’re fast, be prepared to wait at the top of hills and count people through
    If you’re slow, you’re not alone – bring banter! You’ll be with good company. And hora.

    Basically, I set up the Pootles for those people at the back. We don’t have people at the back in a Pootle. We have a rest, a chat, enjoy the view.

    See you there!

    It’s a rigid compatible route. Except for the 40ft double and 20ft step down….

    I’d say it’s ‘red’ graded

    Any clue as to the route?

    I’m a possibly maybe depending on expected distance (or more importantly, which hills!) and my fitness, I’ve barely ridden for a year!

    Maybe, pending the above.

    I’m in.

    Will be my first mtb ride in quite a while so I’m better off on a pootle than my usual re-introduction after a break of trying to follow @nosedive in the dark down some precipitous flight of greasy off-camber steps he hasn’t bothered to mention.

    EDIT: suppose I’d better check the bike still works and consider fitting tyres that actually have some tread…

    I’ll probably be at Peaty’s thing too. Pretty sure 18bikes is going to be closed for the same reason.

    Will check the calendar, but will…….

    Gah! Sudden realisation that I am down in Bristol visiting my Sister. Bu66er.
    Should be a good weekend though, as I am trying to persuade my Bro-in-Law to sneak off to Cwm Carn for the morning to try out his recently purchased Trek Superfly….

    I’ve been wanting to join a peaks pootle for ages, but I can’t come on this one because I’ve just had major surgery to my spine. Looking forward to being back on the MTB next spring.

    Probably 2 or 3 of us coming over from N. Lincs for the Pootle on some proper hills. Some may be weather dependent, but I expect to be there whatever, as the scenery is better and the mud is less sticky than ours.
