going to have ago at this tomorrow,will it be ok bearing in mind the rain we've been having
thanks
No.
As above.
As above unless you like riding in rivers and letting the silt grind your drive train and brakes to nothing.
no way.
cut gate is all or nothing. wonderful in good conditions, godawful after rain. save it until it's either frozen or dried out. Somewhere on this site is a wet weather dark peak route though I fear it included rushup edge 😥
AS above...
+ potato MrNice !
Cut Gate is closed until further notice.
Absolutely chucking it down here atm (within a few miles from Langsett). It'll be a disaster zone.
@MrNice Don't suppose you have any more information about the wet weather route do you? I've tried looking in the trail guide but can't see anything.
I think its on the verbier publishing web site.
Cheers guys, I might have to try it out at something.
Pah....you all scared of mud - we're British aren't we 😉
No - just don't like wrecking both bike and trail
Beautiful weather on a Ladybower loop today. Champion. 🙂
CutGate & Rain ... great if your Duck oh not forgetting the couple of sets of pads you'll need, and untold wear on your bike, I love the place but not after it's Pi&&ed down.
We did it Cocker but by the christ it was harrd mate!!!
I rode it for the first time last year in moderately wet conditions when I was visiting mates in the Peak.
It was pretty rank to be honest, my abiding memory is of riding down a stream in a deep eroded ditch that spat us out onto a horribly churned up mess of a hillside.
Hope to try it in a dry summer one day.
its not much better in the dry, not sure why its held in such high regard
