[Closed] STW Peaks Pootle - 27th: details

Does anyone have a HT11 tool they could bring, I've got a BB somewhere (might have to raid my emergency box for a superstar one :s ) but the tool has gone walkies 🙁

The little plastic one that tightens up the axel, pretty please?

Yes i do. You do mean the little metal one that tightens up the plastic bit on the axle don't you

😉

this one 🙂

got the spanner, but cant for the life of me find the other tool or my spare shimano BB, will a supertat one last 30 miles?

bring the spanner. I've got that. Mine's metal though.

just do it with a 50 pence piece

Ive never ever used the spanner that is supposed to attach to that part. Then again I finger-over tighten everything anyway!

Hora confusing himself with He-Man shocker 😯

I've got a few massive allen keys which might bodge it in so might not be nececary,

Everyone ok with harribo as a thankyou 😀

will bring my tools with me. Could you park in the layby in Edale? Im getting there for circa 9.30am in my new 'taxi' car

I say the car park so that we 'put something back' - and I'll have my big tool Hora anyway

I'm coming with the missus (whos going to spend 3 hours drinking pints of tea in the Woodbine) so will just be looking out for a group of middle aged IT bods of bling 29er fixies somewhere arround the train station car park :p

'put something back'

I will be using the carpark toilets if that counts?

spoon - there'll be a rockhopper rider on his back like a tortoise. That'll be me.

Iz eat all burgurz b4 you get there nom nom nom

off school for easter now 😀 fry up planned for me and have lots of SIS banana bars at the ready.

what route we doing again? 😛

a peaks one. It goes along, up, down, along, up, up, down, beside, up, down down, down, up, up, down, rest, up, up, fast down pub.

I can't do this now (I can't seem to remember saying I would be, but I more than likely did), so I may need removing from that list. Unless 'James' is in fact somebody entirely different to me, 'james' ..

...and I'm coming too Pook (but you knew that already) 😉

Wahey! How do Rich. Bringing your peekture box?

I'm out. Surgery beckons.
Look forward to seeing pictures :o)

ah, think i know that one! ill bring my cheapo helmet cam, not had a successful test yet though

slowrider - ygm

cheers pook, couldnt get it to work! im happy to just turn up and ride though...

ah right, well on a map.....

Edale, jaggers, hope cross, beast, rowlee farm, hagg farm descent, ladybower side, debated but ok climb through wood, hope brink to aston, bradwell, cement works, up pindale, dirtlow rake, cavedale, cake/chips/pint in castleton, mam tor old road, mam tor, hollins, edale.

ah wicked, a few bits i dont know.

had to re-fit the dual ply back tyre again, bloody tubeless pinch flats!

what don't you know?

well i never start in edale unless im doing the jacobs ladder ride, i havent followed hope brink down to aston for years and the bit from bradwell onwards i dont think ive done either. so quite a bit really!

fingers crossed for the weather!

possibly bringing the camera, depends on how many goodies I'm putting in my bag.....chocolate/sweets vs camera???

chocolates and sweets wins everytime.

I'm still planning to be there 🙂

I've just got a pass.
Is it ok for me to come out to play, too?

I'm afraid I'm definitely off the list. The wrist still isn't up for it, just about managing some gentle road rides, and going to have a little play on Sunday if I can but I think I'll struggle, even with a pootle, in the the peaks

I'm in.

Is it ok for me to come out to play, too?

Well du'h! 8)

I'm all set. Osteopath sorted my back for me 😀

Healing vibes Becky 🙂 looks like I will be the only 'girl' on this ride now 🙄

Anyone got a HTII bottom bracket spare? Sam's is falling to pieces - we've currently got it in bits here but the seals are knackered. Any contributions welcome....

(if not, he's going to risk it anyway)

I'm out, again! This ride is cursed. Pretty annoyed though, seems to be the same cycle everytime...

Train > Train > Train > Feeling Strong on the bike > Injury > Repeat

Knee problem, operation on the horizon, really bloody sore. 😥

No show for me I'm afraid. No wheels, or forks on the bike and in any case I've got to go to Telford tomorrow to do a job after having today off pricing work.

Which BB cup is the worst? I have a motley collection. Some better than others.

Got to work in the morning 😡

Gutted.

Cheers.
Lee.

Pook, i've got a HT BB for sam and i'll throw the Cranks in as well (SLX). I'll be there at half 9 mate.

loads of drop outs 🙁 this means we will go faster 😐 not that it ever matters to me, im always at the back 😛

left cup the worst, we just need to replace it so he can ride. We've done the best we can but it's making nasty noises.

I've got the tool just need the spanner and the part.

We'll get there for 9.30am for repairs!

Popocatapetl, are you going through whaley bridge + chapel-en-le-frith to get to edale? if so would i be able to scrounge a lift? its fine if not 🙂

Pook, thanks again for a great days riding and thanks to everyone else for the great company (and Hora!) 😆

Chris, thanks for arranging the ride, I had to head off before Mam Nick, it was great, cheers James

cheers pook for organising it and Popocatapetl for giving me a lift, and skiprats bro for the duct tape for my shorts. thanks to everyone else for a great day, especially those that fed me!

I was tempted to try find you guys part way round but went and bought some new bits instead

Thanks Chris, awesome ride.

Totally knackered now.

Great day out- no rain and no injuries. Dog-tired mind 8)

Cheers Chris for another great ride , see ya all on the next one.

Sweet, cheers! Great ride, especially that last oh-my-god! descent.. 😀

I'll let you in on a little secret. I didn't know that last descent was going to be that good. I've done it many a time but always had to stay out of the gullies as they've been too wet.
It was like a toboggan run today....uplift anyone?

Great ride today. Some of the videos look ace! Anyone going to upload their photos?

😀

What was the last descent?

Mam Nick to Edale.

No name I don't think. But I'm going to call it the Toboggan Run

Thanks for organising the ride Chris, really enjoyed today.

Been telling the wife about it and now she wants to come on the next ride.

Paul

Thanks again chris for sorting this ride...

and what a great group.. looking forward to the next one.

chris

funny i always found the descent a bit too short. Wouldn't really say better. Each to their own I suppose.

I'm slowly seizing up now!

😀

just woken up !legs are a bit stif but still buzzing....so thank you pook for organizing had a fantastic day

i might do the vid today....

'morning. Anyone have the actual stats of elevation climbed etc?

chris nunns is the man....

I'll ring him. It's not too early for a sunday morning...

😀

4554 ft of climbing. 21.5 miles

surprisingly, I am absolutely fine now but I need to clean my bike. I'm going to make some jumps in the field now 😀

Just to say thanks to everyone who shared their food with me (and water- thanks Pook). I had the hunger-shakes at the top of Cavedale 🙁 I really need to sort out my pre-ride food intake.

Did you go for a burger at the Rambler?

Did you go for a burger at the Rambler?

Bear? Woods? 8)
