well bearing in mind it's either heavy rain or sleet tomorrow I think just a short leap up to the tops might be more acceptable!!!

No such thing as bad weather - just the wrong type of clothes!

From the Met Office mountain weather forecast for the Peak District...
Weather
Cloudy and cold with occasional rain, sleet and snow during the morning. Wet snow is expected above 200 metres with accumulations of 2 to 5 cm widely, and up to 10cm over the higher peaks. During the afternoon the rain, sleet and snow will turn more showery in nature. Light winds.Visibility
Becoming poor above 200 metres with navigation extremely difficult.Hill fog
Becoming extensive above 200 metres in snow.Should be fun. I think I'll stay closer to home (Macc Forest) tomorrow.

Ah it'll be fine!
This route is at most, 0.5 miles from civilisation!

There is the wrong weather. Anything that isnt sunny. I'll still be coming up though...
Posted 2 years ago # -
nice one.
I'm thinking of bringing a STW ride mascot. Something that can be passed on around STWers and do some worldwide travelling. Would people do that you think?
Tomorrow could be his inaugural ride

Posted 2 years ago # -
relly peed off now, work cancelled for tomorrow.
and i can't get a lift!!!!!!
Posted 2 years ago # -
May not be able to make it
if I'm not there by the start time then don't wait for me.
Posted 2 years ago # -
For various car related reasons me and J are unlikely to make it tomorrow - it's not even down to the anticipated hangovers! Anyway, if we're not there for 9.30 don't wait for us.
Have fun everyone.Posted 2 years ago # -
my winter wardrobe is very black

Sorry folks, the pish weather has put me right off this today. To anyone brave enough to ride, I salute you......
I'm off back to bed.
Pie.

Bugger!! I thought this was tomorrow (sunday) for some reason.
Just checked on here for a time and place and noticed the boat has been missed somewhat!

Hi all -
so, it was a bit mental eh? Sorry I couldn't sort better weather, but hopefully you all enjoyed it and the route was too bad.
Will will no doubt stick some video up soon, but for now - all I've got is this
Nice to meet you all and put some names to faces. I'll wait for the good weather for the next one I sort!
Posted 2 years ago # -
Looks like fun.
Posted 2 years ago # -
looks fun, always good up there in snow
Pook, you definately need to organise another one. Maybe a pre-christmas ride with pub stops?
Posted 2 years ago # -
its taken me a little over an hour to clean me, my bike and my clothes. still good fun
Posted 2 years ago # -
Cheers for the ride, but why did you make me go through that lake?
If anyone fancies more of the same in that area, take a look at the club I ride with, http://www.natsmtb.com/ We're often up that way and we have a good mix of riders. Usually it's around the same overall sort of pace, with banter like we had today. Anyhow, I'm leading a couple of Sunday NATS rides with them after xmas, one of which start from Bamford.
And very well done to the lads who cleared Cavedale today - nice riding.

Great ride, thanks Chris!
Bike has just been dumped in the Garage, as it is far to cold to start cleaning it now, and it's dark.
My videos...well they didn't work basically! There is a small one of you all going down a hill (the grassy muddy one) but the rest have just been deleted.
Btw...My legs do look long there
Was great to meet everybody
Posted 2 years ago # -
Great ride, really enjoyed the route, cheers Chris.
Just adding jockey wheels and a snorkel to my camelbak list...
Off out in the cold to wash bike now, see ya soon.

Crackin' ride today gents. Great to put names to faces too. I only dabbed about 4 times on the way down Cavedale...sadly with my backside but excellent fun anyway. I'll look forward to another one of these rides soon. Maybe with more snow
Came home to find mountains of snacks (pringles, twiglets, crumpets, potato cakes) thanks to my girlfriend having friends up to stay. And Star Wars was on the tele. Good day all round really.
