Naught, naughty Vic! 😀
Pooks mate Ben rode his 99 Gt with us (first time off road?) and surprised me thoroughly!
hahaha. I'll be there on Saturday. Gt and all, I'll sit at the back not being able to keep up.
Well you did. The Ladybower Inn cheeky is a wee bit steep!
26er or 29er??
just as a wee heads up
The A625 is closed at Rushop Edge from 08.30-15.30 everyday (seemingly)
there is a well signed diversion.
Basically stay on the bypass, past the 625 turning, up to the next roundabout, left. at the sharp right bend go left and follow road to top of Mam Tor.
see you all there1
thanks for that Martyn, very welcome info!
do I earn a piece of cake??
I want to come on this 🙁
Going all modern and out there! ....(as much as you can at age 37!) I'm going for the biscuity goodness rather than cake. - totally vegetarian AND gluten free!) 😀
I can tell the ecitement may be too much for people already! 😉
Feeling bad now that I've not been home long enough to actually make anything...
Rachel
[cheeky] if use a marg [ vitalite or Pure] without milk then I can eat them [/cheeky]
pineapple upside down cake
Strawberry scones
might do chocolate muffins
all this talk of cake is definately swaying me 🙂 although may not have time to make any...
[b]Right then chaps here are the FULL details[/b]
We're meeting [url= http://streetmap.co.uk/map.srf?x=412404&y=385394&z=120&sv=412404,385394&st=4&ar=y&mapp=map.srf&searchp=ids.srf&dn=691&ax=412404&ay=385394&lm=0 ]here[/url] at 10am. There will be some faffing time, chatting and general 'hey, how are you' stuff - but we'll probably be on our way at 10.15ish. If you need to catch up we are going....
[i]Edale up to Hollins Cross, over to Mam Nick and Rushup Edge, down to Perryfoot and up Eldon Hill towards Dirtlow Rake. Down Pindale and over to Hope, up Hope Brink to Hope Cross and then down Jaggers Clough, back to Edale.[/i]
The route is 16 miles (ish) and about 2200 ft of climb. Generally non- techy - good for the newbies amongst us.
Afterwards we will have a pint in the Rambler.
The nearest station to the start is 0.1 miles away: Edale, on the Sheffield - Manchester line.
To park at Edale car park you'll need about a fiver in change. Maybe more.
Cake recipes - [url= http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/2869/new-york-cheesecake ]this one for me please[/url]
Contingency: if the ride is bobbins, we're dropping down Cavedale and up and over Mam Tor by a route that will be decided on the day.
[b]and who's coming? Or not? (like I could work it out after a bottle of red)....[/b]

I'll not post your gorilla pod then
You've got NBT and Mr Bunnyhop. I reckon the real turnout will be 37.
Mr bunnyhop is Slowrider*
*see earlier posts
Crikey that's a lot of fat middle-aged IT consultants on one ride! 😛
Would love to come but I'll be working. Enjoy.
Well that's just silly.
+ Redwoods (Mrs Onzadog)
+ ChrisJ
+ plus a noob mate of his.
Anyone got a postcode for the start point, want to see how long a drive it'd be to get there

Well the route I suggested was up Chapel Gate to avoid the bogfest that is Rushup Edge, but I can see why you'd choose to go up to Hollins Cross.

HOW many?!?!
I would've liked to come but I'm working so , have a good un........
🙄 😮
Looks like it's going to be a big batch of brownies being made tonight!! 😕 😀
I've got to be up and back super early tomorrow for DIY duty but I'm riding Kinder Circuit in the morning- just incase I bump into you!
I am bringing my + 1 as well
Is there a jib out point as I have been ill all week and off work and have not ridden for a week so I am uncertain of my health/fitness .
Given the huge turnout I will still be there [ or I would jib out]as I would like to meet a few of those for the first time.
Is there a jib out point as I have been ill all week and off work and have not ridden for a week so I am uncertain of my health/fitness .
There are a few options, yes, will try to remember to bring a map so I can show people if need be
Will bring my GPS as well.
Not sure how I will be tbh as I am still not 100% but only pedalling uphill will tell and I am nursing ill children today so no chance to test myself.
Cheers NBT
3 or 4 escape routes.
I'll stick my old map in too.

I miss the days when Hora used to make an effort with his excuses; 'I cant come because I need too buy some mint sauce for my lamb' was a good one, 'I'm in Scotland' when he was late for a ride he organised was a particular highlight too...
That was a funny one 'hora where are you'? erm I'm in the centre of Edinburgh 😆
It just doesn't feel right unless you get some ridiculous convoluted yarn about warped disc rotors, and the replacement being specially flown in from Hong Kong, as there are only 2 left in the world, but the delivery hadn't made it due to a terrorist attack in Paris

I've been on four of these things so far and I've still not actually met the legendary Hora. The nearest I got was a glimpse of a shadowy figure in the next carpark at the start of the ride from Fairholmes in February.
I'm starting to think that he's really just an elaborate hoax composed of a chat bot, an eBay sniping script, and some old cardboard boxes held together with gaffer tape.
he looks like a cardboard box held together with gaffa tape
he looks lie a sex pest hiding in a carboard box held together with gaffa tape
he looks like a sex pest with the clap hiding in a cardboard box held together with gaffa tape
he looks like a sex pest with the clap hiding in a [s]cardboard box held together with gaffa tape [/s] car wrapped up in clingfilm
FTFY

He looks like a sex pest with the clap, naked apart from cowboy boots, hiding in a cardboard box held together with gaffa tape
