Right, I'll get it out the way right away - this is not a Pootle. Pook runs Pootles and he's unavailable.
What it is is a group ride at a steady pace, for folk who are always at the back. We'll potter around some hills, wait and regroup at the top and bottom and eat some cake. If you're fast, you'll be waiting. If you're slow you'll be in good company.
Shall we call it a Peak Potter?
Route TBC, but will be from either Hope or Edale. We'll be leaving the car park at 10am.
If anyone wants to make some JennRide bunting that would be great.
If I wasn't away for the weekend I'd most definitely be joining you 🙁
Gutted I can't ride this. Injured. Maybe hubby and our chums can get along.
im up for it, should be able to bring a few others with me
Enjoy folks - really wish I could get along but I'm sure Will will be more than able to run a ride to honour Jenn!
Hmm doing Oktoberfest the day before otherwise I would have come. Looks like I'll have to do the Cotswold ride on the way back.
Could well be up for that- will keep an eye out for details
Not properly ridden my Heckler since building it (a year ago, cough) so might join if I can get a free pass
In.
Bugger Im working but enjoy the ride and take a few pics for jenn
A plethora of choices for the travelling MTB rider (well if he had a working bike). I'll see if the lefty will hold pressure for any length of time on the old crack 'n' fail this weekend. Then do I join the ruffians at the hill climb or the Potter?
Decisions, decisions.
And I need to make cake. If NBT is going to be there it had better be one without chocolate as Bunnyhop doesn't do chocolate in cake!
Just a quick update - final route (and therefore car park) will be decided next week, based on weather. I have a preferred route but I'd sooner keep it flexible till, say, Wednesday.
Not sure my organisation will be up to Pook's legendary Pootle status but I will do my best.

Not sure I'll be there. Bunnyhop is currently [url= http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/cheer-me-up-show-me-your-mtbing-photos ]not riding[/url], as above.
If my son's RL game over in Hull gets called off ( & there's a good chance of that ),then i'll be there .
there's a chance I'll be about, will keep my eye on this.
I'll be there & I'll make Brownies to sell for a small fee / donation to McMillan! If you want I could also produce some non-chocolate baking!
The more baking the better as far as I'm concerned... I am aiming to bake some flapjack, but we'll see.
NBT last time you took a sample home for the good Bunnyhop. Or have I said too much? 😉
Got a Hill climb on that day so I cannot make it. I promise to go 11/10 for Jenn.
I may be out, just got home to find my bikes have been stolen!!
Noooo, that's rubbish!
Right, quick update. Having perused the long range weather forecasts (and looked out the window) I've decided on the classic Jacob's Ladder route from Edale (also known at the Vertebrate all weather loop). We'll be going up Chapel Gate and down Jacob's Ladder.
Park in the main car park in Edale - from memory it's a fiver so bring plenty of change.
Of course you'll also want to bring change for the donation bucket right?
If you're coming it would be handy if you could post in here just so I have an idea of numbers.
Tom and I are hoping to be there on our tandem.
No bikes, sorry I'm out!! 😥
Won't be about now.
Lefty fork not holding air for any length of time so I'm out.
Would more people come if I promised flapjack?
People will come.
If I build it... They will come?
The last pootle had 52.
That was a Pootle though. Branding innit!
I like to think the product is more than just the brand, but yeah 😉
I thought the quality of the product was a given!
I'm on nights all weekend so I'm out
Look out for a wee Pug 106 and a black Rocket tomorrow 🙂
Well a boutique little group of us went and rode - myself, Stealthcat, Chipster and of course Flyingmonkeycorps. Awesome weather, fine trails (even the sunken road off Rushup Edge is bedding in a little). Some big climbs, some big descents. Tea and cake at the end. Hurrah!

Cheers folks, I enjoyed it. Thanks for waiting.
Sorry I couldn't stop for the café, I could've done with a fat piece of cake.
The back legs know they've been out, now. 🙂
