my technique is perfectly good, I don't need to buy my skills with some la-di-da carbon bike unlike some Mr Thomas slowrider Smith.

I simply buy a dandyhorse worthy of my prowess

I don't have a chip on my shoulder but I do have a dislike of people bad mouthing others for no good reason.

The peter

you'd best not bad mouth me. I'd be giving you a thick ear. Grr.

Well, I don't really care where it was snide or not, I just scented a god-given opportunity to score free cake and I'd appreciate it if folk could keep their petty squabbles out of it. Let's face facts:

1. There is a huge chasm just below those steps which people are keeping quiet about.

2. rOcKetDOg is squirming like a kitten on a barbecue at the prospect of failing dismally to ride up them.

3. Er, yeah.

So, can we just forget about the handbags and focus on the important business in hand please?

Podge it wasn't a snide remark at all, it was just a light hearted question, then you ruined it with your knee jerk name calling, i could reciprocate but i like to think I'm on above the juvenile level so i'll leave it there

good job they are wearing pads, those steps look like a dangerous walk

As for being above the juvenile level, I'm sure many would agree poking fun at people is very juvenile, so no, you're not above it at all.

it clearly a malicious

I do think that's a lovely photo of mrs. podge riding through the stream though. Again that doesn't show how steep, rocky and slippery the descent was into the stream.

:o(

well then I'll take his recent comments as a minor blip on an an otherwise impeccable post history

Right, enough of all this now. I don't want the pootles to be tarred with the brush of argument and anger. Whether rd intended to cause offence I don't know, but offence was taken and that's unfortunate. Let's call it a misunderstanding, accept that, apologise as appropriate, get over it on both sides and walk away. The ride was ace, and that's the memory I want of it.
The internet is rife for misinterpretation, but that doesn't excuse exacerbating it, plus I'd like to think we're all above that. That said, a cake challenge sounds fun.
Now, let's all just move on, enjoy our bikes and look forward to the next ride eh?
Video coming up at some point!

what Pook said.. ^^

and anyway... its not about whose fastest... jumps highest.. or rides the most technical terrain..

its about who has the biggest smile on their face afterwards 🙂

Roll on the next pootle..!

It's all about the cake 🙂

Stw in kiss and make-up shocker? Never going to happen. I certainly wouldn't kiss Podge, his wife on the other hand...

slowrider - I certainly wouldn't kiss Podge, his wife on the other hand...

Er, both you and Chris asked me to touch your bum on Sunday.

Thanks bunnyhop

Double kisses for you, singles for everyone else

Pushing the saddle would have been fine for me

Ooooh I love a happy ending...... rides off into the dusk.

Here's the video!

nice one Sheldon!

good job fella!!!

I had no idea the ride had been that funky.

Another quality production in proper grim conditions!Thanks very much for all the effort Sheldon.It's a good job I've got a 203mm rotor on the front , or we could have the makings of a "Pile On" there. 😳

You mean I have missed all the drama? Damnit!!

Anyway, good pics Sheldon, and am even more impressed you remembered who I was... or did Mandi need to give you a hand? ;o)

So thanks to everyone for organising the ride... despite the weather and the grinding noises my bike is now making I loved it.. :oD

Here's my effort for you all - luckily my camera is waterproof!!

😀

Love the sarcasm of the song 🙂 Nice one Chris, but you did manage to miss me falling off. Both times. 😀

nice vids guys. the last downhill on the first one looks loads of fun

nice vids 😀

especially sheldon's warp factor funk riding..!

Looks like fun

Love the sarcasm of the song Nice one Chris, but you did manage to miss me falling off. Both times.

That was irony, the song I mean. You falling off was just incompetence 😉

I'll have you know i'm entirely competent at falling off.

Tj - it was ace. Really good day despite the weather!

2 great videos boys.

Pook - my bum is just disappearing down the steps in front of the first chap going down 😉

Oh and thanks to MartynS who held open the gate of the last descent for nearly 30 riders to mince down in the chilly wind and rain.

Top video, looks ace despite the weather.

Which one is that last trail, from about 3min 30secs onwards? If anyone could point me in the general direction I would be grateful.

I'm only just starting to explore the Peak District, I recognised Middle Moor but not much else, though everything always seems to look different on video anyway to me.

Edit- on the Peaks June video, I meant.

Last descent is Far Phoside. [url= http://www.streetmap.co.uk/map.srf?x=403420&y=385680&z=120&sv=403420,385680&st=4&ar=y&mapp=map.srf&searchp=ids.srf&dn=726&ax=403420&ay=385680&lm=0 ]Here[/url]

Excellent, cheers Sambob!

I think I've actually been down there a few times but I've always took a right where it forks by the stone wall halfway down and then gone across the stream and through the fields back to Peep O'Day.

Will give the path to the left a go next time, looks pretty good 8)

At the moments it's a "choose your rut, close your eyes, stay off the brakes and hope" as it's quite muddy, but still awesome fun.

Sounds perfect

left rut, bobbly rocky stuff, right rut, smooth but....er.....a rut
