    Anyone fancy another?

    I know hora wants the beast included, and cavedale… So I will plan along those lines.

    As always, it'll be a 15 or so miler with the speed set to amble.

    Cake, views and chat being the order of the day. Followed by a beer and burger

    🙂

    If the last two rides were an amble I'd hate to see a normal speed ride!!!!

    I'll see if I can come along, haven't ridden the beast on my Pitch yet.

    Whats the beast? Or should I say where is the beast? I have no idea what half of these nicknames for trails in the Peaks relate to.

    KoB, I was saying the same just yesterday – but the beast is one I did know….

    Runs from hope cross to the top end of ladybower. (Western tip)

    O, I didn't know that. Certainly easier than trying to explain to hang a right at Hope Cross to head back down to Ladybower.

    I am in Scotland first weekend of March and Wales the following two weekends so I guess Peaks for the final weekend rounds it off nicely.

    I might be up for this one, if I manage to get some bike fitness back between now and then.

    I luurve the Beast though and be sure to do Lockerbrook on't other side.

    The snow will have gone. Let me run this past you….

    Edale, jaggers clough, hope cross, beast, back up beast, roman road, descent to hope, bradwell, pindale, dirtlow rake, cavedaele descent, mam tor old road climb, mam tor descent.

    Just a beer mat route thought. Run in that direction.

    And twang: I'd aimed for that sunday but it's the f1 and I'm a geek. Next will be a sunday I promise 🙂
