Not sure where's ridable at the mo with the snow (poetic eh)
Cut gate-sludge/snow fest no doubt?
Any ideas?
Fanks 🙂
anywhere where there's no snow!
Stay low and do a loop of ladybower
+1 ladybower loop. Cut Gate will be a bog.
There's an airport near the Dark Peak. I think it's called "Manchester". Catch a 'plane to Spain
jacobs ladder loop from edale wasnt too bad last weekend, but there was some pushing. not too bad overall though 🙂
nah it was crap. Whoever organised it wants shooting.
I second that! 😆
stop moaning 😛 it wasnt that bad. chris the only reason you didnt enjoy it was coz you fell off 7 times 😉
If it's any consolation Chris I fell off a few times too, but at least I did it on the slippy stuff and not in the middle of a packed car park. You did put a smile on my face tho'
Sorry Twang, a bit of a thread hijack there.
You'll probably still find a fair bit of snow where the trail is sheltered. Last weekend there was a fair bit of pushing both up and down. The climb out of Roych Clough to Mount Famine had a long section that was too snowy to ride effectively, and even coming [i]down[/i] Jacob's ladder involved a push in the walled sections. It was fun on the sections coming off Rushop Edge (see the vid above) tho'
It's snowing today in Leek, so chances are more is coming down in the Dark Peak. Bring your bike to stick to the low and/or exposed sections to avoid the drifted snow still to melt
Well my local loop that I usually do is pretty snow free apart from a few sections (Glossop > Rowarth > Lantern Pike > Hayfield or you can add in a dash of Mellor and Chinley Churn as well...) email me for more info (check my profile for email)
Getting a bit fed up with Ladybower loop TBH (wash my mouth out!)
Half tempted to do the Jacobs loop what I missed out on last weekend! OR Lantern pike Chinley churn if it aint too snowy/boggy, cheers tjr666.
Thanks all
EDIT; Pook, put my name down for next one and thanks for not arranging it for 3weeks tme (again 🙂 )
