Rob, we can have a race on the next one 
. I'm rather competetive at times... I know you were on the last ride i did, but i cant remember which bike you were on?
I wont be quick up the hills, the new bike weighs about 32/33 pounds with slack head angle, whereas my old trek was 17 pounds, with talas forks...
THe down is the best bit anyway...
i meant 27 pounds... Ive never ridden anything that was 17 pounds off road and really wouldnt want to...
Good point, I'll come after mi ride and before we drive down!
Chris,
I've still got your rear mech. I found it at the bottom of my bag last night. Apologies for not returning it on the day. Drop me a line with your address and I'll post over to you.
Thanks
Iain
I just don't see the excitement in others I feel in myself.
The last thing I'm looking at when I'm going downhill is other people's excitement. There's quite enough dribbling down to contend with myself
I was on a Pitch Pro, and always at the back on the way up.
dh race on jacobs tba this summer 
i was glad i went 1st down jacobs, no one saw my otb to 360 pirouette on the snow just after the gate into the deep snowy bit. scariest bit of the descent!
if there was a race, it would have to be very early or late in the day to avoid walkers and if i get a job somewhere, i might be able to afford a new bike by then 
avoid walkers? they are part of the terrain! knock 1 second of your time for a yell of fear, 3 for a leap for safety and 5 for actual contact.
add 5 secs on for a wave or saying hello
gnnnnnaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
@Rob Atkin: you've got mail 
okay then, if thats how we are going to play, im gonna get an air horn to use right behind ramblers, how many points do we get for a faint due to shock? automatic win?
Working on the video tonight chaps and chappess. Can't decide on music for it though. Got one track in mind that is ace, another is different. Hmm.... Choices choices....
nice one chris.
wish i had got my camera out at some point now, too bloody cold though!
pook, one that has both the words mud and snow in, would suit the ride perfectly
i was glad i went 1st down jacobs
I know.... I said 'watch out! Coming through' and three of you suddenly burst into life like someone had lit fire under your feet and set off down first!
400!
didnt want to get stuck behind you hora...
I HAVE to go down Jacobs and Rushup when it's dry in the summer.
Start off now and you might make it
Damn vimeo is on the work intenet blacklist. I will check it at home tonight.
Nice work mate, glad you missed my couple of offs!
You missed me sneaking the cake into my mouth then mugging everyone for their sweets
Good work Chris. Think Sams a bit harsh with the two finger salute though, I would of used both hands!! 
Thanks for sorting it all out too. Had a great time out.
nice one chris. internet is a bit poor at the moment so it was all a bit juddery. my fault not yours though. missed me down jacobs 
i did get you on Jacob's, but you look knackered and put a foot down!
Can send it if you like so you can see
I believe I'm passing at about 3:55, just because you said you could/would on the vimeo description, is there nay chance I could somehow see a non-cut up (I appreciate it makes it better like that in the full video) version?
Don't feel you have to though
Whats the idea for the next one then? Cut gate? it was doable early april last year so perhaps? ..
I'd like to throw in Hollinsclough/3 shires head or stanage/blackamoor/totley moor as slightly different suggestions
I was thinking cut gate. Maybe March 27th. Can't do 28th now.
3.55 you say......hang on
I know a very nice Blacka/Houndkirk/Totley/Sheffield route though
Cut gate- starting from the other side (not the res)? IM IN!
i did get you on Jacob's, but you look knackered and put a foot down!
my email is in my profile.
cut gate from langsett? And back?
Cutgate although one of my fave rides might be a bit grim unless we get a good dry spell.
My vote would be for a Redmires start > Stanage Pole & Plantation > Lady Canning > Blacka > Totley Moor > Houndkirk ride as I think most bits hold up well.
bit of road mileage in that but it's a good start. Will start thinking of a loop. That isn't featured in the latest mag!
james, sam, YGM
4.38 - that's downhill excitement right there people! Looks pretty quick too That last shot is pretty good to say it was a complete accident - I had no idea the camera was there. But how did you manage to make the top of Jacob's look flat?!
Redmires start > Stanage Pole & Plantation > Lady Canning > Blacka > Totley Moor > Houndkirk
This could be good as my back door ride is houndkirk/lc/blacka but I never take it out as far as Stanage
i made it look flat by having no viewfinder!
Maybe we should club in for a decent camera for you next time
