lol are you trying to start an ego war bunnyhop? i didnt think there were any proper downhills round marple anyway? 😛
slowrider - remember farmer Johns 😉
The Beast?
Check out Cedric Horacia at 2.02 😀
I merely finished the 'iddle bidle bunny rabbit kins off in the most humane way I could.
I ran over a shrew once. It was obviously trying to make a quick dash across the path to safety and it went 'eek' as I flattened it. Poor thing. Cleaning it's innards off the bike wasn't much fun either.
For some reason I pictured you running over a Hobbit.
slowrider I think you and geetee will be racing each other on the descents on the 'pootle' ride.
Well having just spent a few minutes watching slowrider's valliant efforts on a certain trail in a certain valley not a million miles from Lady Bower, I think I may have met my match.
When are we going to ride that trail that may not be legal slowrider? Off the top of Hope Cross down to the reservoir through the small swing/loaded gate?
I vowed never again. I might change my mind 😀
Please could some other Sheffield riders go to Moss Valley. It's great for old school/singlespeed and some tracks in danger of being overgrown, it's so neglected.
I guess what I'm trying to say is that you seem to be laying into the Derwent Valley area because your own expectations of it are skewed, which just seems unfair
😆 I contest that. I was hardly "laying into it", and even if I was there's nothing wrong with having an opinion. That's what this place is about, isn't it? I just don't seem to "get it" as much as many others and wondered if anyone agreed with me. I do agree that I do have high expectations tho'. My problem and I have to live with it 😥
Hora I'm not sure I know which one you mean? I'm always up for a cheeky new trail though
We discussed it before. Its accessed via a tiny spring-loaded gate thats circa 1metre high with a steep drop on your right and lots of roots.
Actually on hindsight **** that. I need to renovate a house and I aint doing that with broken arms.
Ah yes I know where you mean now! Doing it today as it happens, I'll let you know how it's holding up.
Not on your own though? 😕
Lol if I said yes would you bunk off to come and play? There's 3 or 4 of us going, a couple will just be spectators though. They are coming along for the warm up ride really
Anytime I take off now I have to spend it filling holes 😐
Dogpower
? Moss Valley where exactly to you mean

I was just being compassionate, I hate to think of your endless disappointment. You seem a bit like someone who's gone to a really good pizzeria and, instead of ordering pizza and enjoying it, is disappointed that they don't do exceptionally good Chinese, because - for some reason - you expect it there 😉 But that's just my opinion. 🙂
😆
Have you seen me in a restaurant or something? You know me so well.
If I carry on your analogy, I see myself as someone who keeps going to this great pizzeria year on year. All the others in the restaurant are raving about the pizza but I can't help but think about the better one I ate when I was in Italy. Why, godamnit, can't the British make pizza like the Italians?
😆
ANYWHERE is good to ride as long as it isn't flat.

...but back to the pizza analogy, you've got to admit the topping makes a difference 🙂
...and who serves it. At my old fave indie coffee shop a Serbian girl used to serve me the mentalist espresso in a morning.
Given half a chance I would have lined her up against the wall and let her have it..
That trail was pretty sloppy today; ended up in the gorge twice and had half a dozen near misses!
Probably best left alone till next year now...
Aye. I'll take your word for it. I'll do it next year. 🙂
Lol feel free to prove me wrong
