FACK- its stripped the flesh from my skull and my bike is now bare aluminum. Anyone else 'enjoyed' the sharp-freezing wind?
Saw a lad on a Decathlon full sus mountain bike ride the Beast and some mean fullface hombres, one with Fox 40 forks at Fairholmes....what a contrast.
i seen a guy with dual crown forks today at Fairhlomes too, bike looked slack as **** for riding around there!!
I'm still getting used to not hearing the wind roaring in my ears
Think we might of all been at fairholmes at the same time! Saw a couple of guys on big dh trek bike and a orange blood turn up as we were leaving. Got mightly annoyed at wind going down roman road to hope cross - it was brining me to a stand still when trying to roll down!
We were the group of 8 that included the special case trying to pet the ducks, eh hora?
What were you riding? We saw blood/trek (fox40s), I thought the roman rd had snowdrifts on?
At fairholmes about 1:15ish? Was 2 of us having a cuppa and washing bikes next to a group who had prevously kindly held the gate open for us at the bittom of the screaming mile descent before heading back to fairholmes. Think one may of been on a black cotic soul!
The only thing that really stopped me was a older woman walker who kept on throwing disaproving looks!
Black cotic- yep chris mortons! Ah I remember you washed your bikes behind the toilets?
Ah ha - yeah that was us - we discovered that they are trying to save the planet and have removed the hose pipe and replaced it with 2 small buckets - think I will have to try to remember to bring the dirtworker with me from now on.
Think I might be confusing roman road with - it was the descent from win hill down towards hope cross that eventually ends up on the potato alley descent - too bloomin windy 🙁
The whole place there is built to serve people who drive there from all over England. Sheesh.
