There's probably about enough of him to make a nice handbag for you

Yeah but I'd keep falling off
his shoulderPosted 2 years ago # -
Mmm, not like me to miss a photo opportunity. I think I only saw myself once, although there was a familiar pair of 661 knee pads towards the end (still attached to knees might I add). Granted I did keep my head down and keep going on the last BIIGGG climb. I thought if I stopped I might not get going again...damn cold at the top tho'
Good job Chris
Cheers

that was only for the chilly downhills. Look out for the upside down forks

"Blacka/Houndkirk/Totley/Sheffield route"
Is it easy to add the Stanage Edge descent into it?"Cut gate- starting from the other side (not the res"
There are reseviors at both ends of cut gate?
I prefer starting at the Langsett end, although you have to add on for eg Derwent Edge and Gores Farm to make it worthwhile going further down the valley than slippery stones/the packhorse bridgePosted 2 years ago # -
I started at Fairholmes (following the VGraphic guide). I really didnt enjoy riding along the res to get to the 'action' then on the return. Tedious.

Errr, yes!
Langsett at the north end, Derwent at the South....Any chance of having the video on Youtube or something as I can't get to see it on Vimeo - won't work on iPhone or work PC.

i reckon we wsill murder cut gate if a group as big as the last ride turn up and its remotely damp. might be best saved for later in the year?
the blacka etc route sounds interesting, not ridden there before.
ive got an idea for a route, just struggling to find a legal final descent...

How many people ride it on any average weekend?
Posted 2 years ago # -
Cut Gate is one of my fave rides, but I tend to steer clear when its been wet for weeks. whenever I do cut gate in the colder months of the year only ever see 2 or 3 groups at most, it will be cut up and boggy on the top sections whether we ride it or not, its just so much better in the dry, the drop down to North America is sublime when its had a few weeks to dry out
Posted 2 years ago # -
Pook - Looked like a fun day out, see what you mean about that snowdrift! No footage of a certain drop off?
Posted 2 years ago # -
Just planning a route eith my local knowledge...
Posted 2 years ago # -
What drop off haddock? Your puncture one? Different route this time!
Anyone know what the deal is with the new restricted access on the bw that runs along the 625 just above blacka plantation?
I've got something in mind that links stanage, blacka, houndkirk and totley. That drop down stanage is key!
Posted 2 years ago # -
Anyone?
Posted 2 years ago # -
not ridden that BW since October, so can't help

"Cut gate- starting from the other side (not the res"
There are reseviors at both ends of cut gate?
Errr, yes!
Langsett at the north end, Derwent at the South...."Thats what I was trying to say, questioning hora saying saying the non-resevior side
On re-reading what I wrote though (the question mark) it does read as if I didn't know there were"That drop down stanage is key!"
the descent on the cobbles/pavement stone through the plantation is one of my favourites, trying not to veer off the stones can be a real challenge, especially nearer the bottomIn ST issue 55, I think Cy mentioned it was a bridleway in his bit of the route guide. Not sure though, a quick re-read may show I've misinterpretted something somewhere
Posted 2 years ago # -
so we're saving the White Peak for dryer, warmer weather then?
Posted 2 years ago # -
im so over stanage descent, distinctly 'tame' imo
Posted 2 years ago # -
I was up there a few weeks back and it said permission has been pulled. Don't know why though
Posted 2 years ago # -
Pook. Stanage sounds good, climbed there but never rode it ( just like the rest of the dark peak!)
Posted 2 years ago # -
The Stanage route- its not similar to the VGraphics one is it? I rode the VGraphics route and 50% of it you might as well have brought a roadbike! Not good!!!
Well, spit it out Pook
Posted 2 years ago # -
Oops forgot smiley
Posted 2 years ago # -
It's a bit late but I'd just like to add my thanks for Chris's efforts in organizing Saturday's ride and his encouragement on the day. I had a great ride despite discovering on that final road section that I ridden most of the way with the rear suspension locked out
