But that unfortunately misses out Pin and Cavedale as a descent
It does Cavedale as a descent (having gone up Pindale) and gives you either Chapel Gate or one of the 3 descents from Mam Tor ridge instead.
Not really fussed to be honest, just don't really like the drag along the road back to the cars.
Could stick another little blast up to Hollins Cross in there, then down from Mam Nick if people have the energy
😀
pop in and say hello? You can all have some Chamois Buttr trial packs on the house to test/keep your arses comfier...
Nice
:o)
I'm going to have to say no to this now
Theres some interesting route variations/ideas. Not sure chapel gate makes the best uphill. I tried it once, never again ..
AMENDED ROUTE:
16 miles. Fun. Done it many a time.

Pook that route looks good, lets do that. I think as you did the first post you should set the route as the combined might of stw peaks troop will never be able to decide on which route offers the best biking per buck.
only question now is which tyres....
oh and can we confirm the start point and time please

9.15, barber booth layby.
Nice route - very similar to one I had been planning for me and J to ride anyway. We might have to take some minor detours (if we make it there for 9.15 (eeek), that is) but we'll see...
It's this route -

So as not to clog the layby too much anyone in the hillsborough / walkley area is more than welcome to a lift if they want one, or if you can fit more than 2 bikes / people in your car, any one want to offer a lift?
Is there room for one more?
Adam
its an open invite
you may well see us lot - we are doing jacobs "the wrong" way inc. down chapel gate, up to hollins/down back tor, up to jaggers, down the roman rd - it will rock!
im coming from manchester... have got a car but its very cramped... would happily give fuel money if i can grab a lift and car share??
Is this layby easy to find?
Can I come and join the fun? I need a good excuse to get out of the house as the gf has some friends coming up. Been away from the forum for a while so be good to "get involved" again.
Coming from Sheffield, either by car (if I can steal it) or by train. If it's the latter I might wait in Edale for you all to come through, given that it's on the latest route posted.
Cheers,
jon
I'm interested 🙂
still meeting at Edale car park?
no a bit further on in a free layby towards Barber Booth

As there are now so many of us, the Edale car park might be a better option for a starting point. I'm going to go there for 9.15am. It's about 5 or 6 quid for the day, and the route goes past it anyway.
For those who get there earlier, Barber Booth is just up the road and you'll nab the free places.
As long as we're all set to go at about 9.30am from Edale car park we're on to a winner I think.
Hope that's ok.
+1 for me and J.
See you at the car park in Edale.
(if we are not there by 9.30 don't wait for us though - it will mean we are too, erm, 'ill' to ride...)
Excellent
Pook - you need to knock me off the list. Sadly I can't make it now.
Will there be another one though?
Of course! This'll be the second one I've done but there are always more!
Sorry you can't make it.

EDALE CAR PARK 9.15AM
I'll be there, just debating whether to bring my jackflash or fuel...
I forgot to say, is anyone going up there tonight? I will be, and would rather have a drink with some fellow bikers, than be bored on my own in the van... ( No one i know can make it). Also, if anyone is coming from herts, beds etc and needs a lift, i could manage that...
looks likely i'm out, my child care provision has failed to materialise, and I'm gutted 🙁
I'm probably riding with mates instead tomorrow, something a bit longer and starting earlier, so if I'm there I'm there and if I'm not, then I'm not. Will say hello if spot you on the trail - I'm guessing it's going to be quite a big group... 🙂
Grim outside in the Peak right now btw, hope it improves overnight...
Chatsworth - gutted for you. no words can express it
Does anyone have a spare 180 or 203 mm post mount to Pm adaptor I could borrow?
Have a good ride all, Unfortantly I work on a saturday. Maybe next time though!
