Just thinking of doing a few rides up Hope way some time before the shit weather comes and I pack my bike away!
So not got a clue where to go, what the trails are like, or where to even start. I normally just ride Cut Gate if I go Derbyshire way. But a rider I was talking to at the train station on Monday told me he had just done a a ride that way and there was a few half decent rides
Anyone even go there regular and could maybe show me and possibly a mate a few rides or set me on the correct path.
email me seth
18 bikes in Hope (the local bike shop)can give you some good advice.
Hope to Ladybower is a favourite of the locals.
everything is in the VG book
thepodge - no its not
VG book? cheers Cruzheckler. If you ride a Santa cruz Heckler on those maybe my Rigid carbon forked Rockhopper may be a bit lame for those trails! Though Cut gate is no problem for it and some of Wharncliffe woods!
I have heard a lot of good things about 18bikes I have fancied calling in there for a nose!
Ok, most suitable loops for a visitor are in the VG book.
Whats the VG book. some sort of local book with hidden knowledge?
not very hidden

ps what this "put bike away for winter" 8)
Well antigee I can't be arsed going to Hope and places in the winter, having to get up too early rushing about, less time out, no stops on the trail for a cupa and a sarnie. THe bike caked in mud and all the extra faffing and fettling with it and washing and washing kit. I don't go out much in winter I'm a fair weather cyclist I'm not too shamed to admit it!
