Its an old quarry here at the junction between Matlock Rd and Darley Dale;
Stone Edge Quarry
We used to ride there years back. In the actual quarry there were a lot of MXers so we rode down short, steep rocky paths to build our balls up. It worked at the time – fully rigid, lycra’d up, thems were the days.
In the woods below, ie between the junction and High Lane, there are a few trails which we used to ride the most. Haven’t been for years and they were falling into disrepair but have seen guys in there making the most of it. Its not steep extreme stuff, but potential for some quality 1 – 2 minute tracks. We used to time ourselves and having never raced, the buzz was fantastic. I’d love to go back, but probably best to keep the memories…
