[Closed] stw peaks pootle 27th march

If the last two rides were an amble I'd hate to see a normal speed ride!!!!

I'll see if I can come along, haven't ridden the beast on my Pitch yet.

deffo up for this one 🙂 never done the beast, looking forward to it 🙂

Added to the imaginary diary.

Still finding little star cake decorations all over my car from the last one!

Should be up for this...

Whats the beast? Or should I say where is the beast? I have no idea what half of these nicknames for trails in the Peaks relate to.

KoB, I was saying the same just yesterday - but the beast is one I did know....

Runs from hope cross to the top end of ladybower. (Western tip)

O, I didn't know that. Certainly easier than trying to explain to hang a right at Hope Cross to head back down to Ladybower.

I've ridden up that, when i say ridden i mean pushed

I should be up for this one if the snow has finally gone.

NNNOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
Every third week still pook?
but....but.....you pwomised! BWAHHAHAAAH!! 😥 😥 😥

I am in Scotland first weekend of March and Wales the following two weekends so I guess Peaks for the final weekend rounds it off nicely.

I might be up for this one, if I manage to get some bike fitness back between now and then.

I luurve the Beast though and be sure to do Lockerbrook on't other side.

ive put my name down for some overtime that day.

guess ill have to cancel it 😛

The snow will have gone. Let me run this past you....

Edale, jaggers clough, hope cross, beast, back up beast, roman road, descent to hope, bradwell, pindale, dirtlow rake, cavedaele descent, mam tor old road climb, mam tor descent.

Just a beer mat route thought. Run in that direction.

And twang: I'd aimed for that sunday but it's the f1 and I'm a geek. Next will be a sunday I promise 🙂

Don't suppose any one would happen to be passing nottingham uni on the way with a space for another?

So so stressed today. 🙁 I sold a car privately and bought a car from a dealer. ****. Will reply tomorrow after I have recovered..

pook, sounds good. ive done all of that stuff but never in that orde4r, or even on the same ride (i dont think)

becky_kirk43; possibly, im in stapleford so not far away. depends if i can bagsie the car though, otherwise ill be scrounging a lift too!

hora, diddums 😛

Ps. Of course, I'm in.

Right, I'm determined to make this one.
Just got to ask the 'x' if I can swap my weekend with my daughter...Could go either way! (god bless x's everywhere!)

pook - do you have a post code of the meet point like to see how far it is from me.

good luck twang 😯

(seriously, i know his ex!)

becky_kirk43; no such luck with the motor im afraid, as usual the kids have places to be.

mister p, you going my way? 😉

thanks anyway slow rider, I may have to give it a miss courtesy of the wrist (not sure hwo long itll be til I'm riding again)
If anyone else is passing on the way up it'd be much appreciated though 🙂

Im up for this one!
becky_kirk43 im coming from Beeston so could give you a lift if you remind me nearer the time

Forge: not yet as I'm currently sorting this on a blackberry! That will come in time. If you want something now though google the rambler inn in edale, their post code will do.

Ps all; I'm currently at a wedding in brum. Priorities eh? 😉

Thanks Pook I will take a look, enjoy the wedding.

Wedding enjoyed. As was wandering around worcestershire today. Handy pub lunch to defeat the hangover!

So we're happy with the route? Will do some maths later

if we are going down the beast pook, what about up and back down the hagg farm descent? those who dont fancy it can use it as a lunch stop or something...

I'll have a play online later - I'm doing this all off the top of my head at the mo

slowrider I'll see what my legs are like on the day. For those that dont want the extra climb we can reconvene back at Edale.

Im itching to rebuild my 456 🙁

Full suss is great but it makes it feel easier.

i shall be there.........................

hora, we'd get to beast early in the day....

Ok, I had a lonely ride this weekend 🙁

ok - comes in at 19 miles with Hagg Farm.
just over 3000ft climb.

just over 3000ft climb.

Now are you sure, remember last time 😉

Ps. Pook, remember the woman who told us not to take the wrong turn in Calderdale? She was the one who bought my car. Coincidence.

no. i just make it all up...you know me.

i will need a bigger breakfast this time, pook is definitely one who will know how shattered i was at the end of the last one 😳

hora that woman wasn't real. She vanished after we spoke to her.

hora that woman wasn't real. She vanished after we spoke to her.

I temember now, yes 😯

We're not on about the Holly Golightly woman are we - we're on about the mysterious vanishing woman near the hedgehog crossing?

Pook, wierdly she bought the car after seeing it for 5mins on a dark rainy night in a hotel carpark and handed over the readies. I dropped off the car at her farm (next to where we saw her) and then had a ride around Hebden. They never came to my address to see the car. How trusting is that? They also didnt ask to see any ID to confirm that I was the actual owner and not someone who had nicked the keys/V5 in a burglary.

I will be out for this one due to my hand looking like this the week before: -
