400!
didnt want to get stuck behind you hora...
I HAVE to go down Jacobs and Rushup when it's dry in the summer.
Start off now and you might make it 😀
😆
The video is here
Hope you like it!
Damn vimeo is on the work intenet blacklist. I will check it at home tonight.
Nice work mate, glad you missed my couple of offs! 😀
You missed me sneaking the cake into my mouth then mugging everyone for their sweets 8)
Good work Chris. Think Sams a bit harsh with the two finger salute though, I would of used both hands!! 😉
Thanks for sorting it all out too. Had a great time out.
nice one chris. internet is a bit poor at the moment so it was all a bit juddery. my fault not yours though. missed me down jacobs 🙁
i did get you on Jacob's, but you look knackered and put a foot down!
Can send it if you like so you can see
I believe I'm passing at about 3:55, just because you said you could/would on the vimeo description, is there nay chance I could somehow see a non-cut up (I appreciate it makes it better like that in the full video) version?
Don't feel you have to though
Whats the idea for the next one then? Cut gate? it was doable early april last year so perhaps? ..
I'd like to throw in Hollinsclough/3 shires head or stanage/blackamoor/totley moor as slightly different suggestions
I was thinking cut gate. Maybe March 27th. Can't do 28th now.
3.55 you say......hang on
I know a very nice Blacka/Houndkirk/Totley/Sheffield route though
🙂
Cut gate- starting from the other side (not the res)? IM IN!
i did get you on Jacob's, but you look knackered and put a foot down!
fair enough. could you? that'd be great 🙂 my email is in my profile.
cut gate from langsett? And back?
Cutgate although one of my fave rides might be a bit grim unless we get a good dry spell.
My vote would be for a Redmires start > Stanage Pole & Plantation > Lady Canning > Blacka > Totley Moor > Houndkirk ride as I think most bits hold up well.
bit of road mileage in that but it's a good start. Will start thinking of a loop. That [i]isn't[/i] featured in the latest mag!
😉
james, sam, YGM
4.38 - that's downhill excitement right there people! Looks pretty quick too 8) That last shot is pretty good to say it was a complete accident - I had no idea the camera was there. But how did you manage to make the top of Jacob's look flat?!
Redmires start > Stanage Pole & Plantation > Lady Canning > Blacka > Totley Moor > Houndkirk
This could be good as my back door ride is houndkirk/lc/blacka but I never take it out as far as Stanage
i made it look flat by having no viewfinder!
Maybe we should club in for a decent camera for you next time
Maybe we should club him like a Seal more like! 😆
There's probably about enough of him to make a nice handbag for you[s]r missus[/s]
Yeah but I'd keep falling off [s]his shoulder[/s]
Mmm, not like me to miss a photo opportunity. I think I only saw myself once, although there was a familiar pair of 661 knee pads towards the end (still attached to knees might I add). Granted I did keep my head down and keep going on the last BIIGGG climb. I thought if I stopped I might not get going again...damn cold at the top tho'
Good job Chris 🙂 Cheers
dan you'll be in the rushes somewhere - I'll have a look for the bright orange top!
I dont get it. In some shots I'm wearing great leggings under shorts then in other shots the leggings vanish...what gives? 😉
I'll have a look for the bright orange top!
that was only for the chilly downhills. Look out for the upside down forks 🙂
who is it who falls off at the right at the back of shot in the middle at about 5.15?
funnily enough Hora, you lose your specs too......
ive just ordered one of those ebay helmet cams so ill bring it along if i can make the next one.
as an aside, my posts keep disappearing from this thread. weird!
slowrider, im about to order one aswell 😀
good lad, they look alright dont they? now we just someome fast to follow down the hills...
yehh. or we could just give the camera to someone fast and claim it as our own?
count me in for that one fallguy.
nice vid again pook. still managed to get my best side again
Nice work there Pook 😀
good edit chris, captures the feel of the day well
"Blacka/Houndkirk/Totley/Sheffield route"
Is it easy to add the Stanage Edge descent into it?
"Cut gate- starting from the other side (not the res"
There are reseviors at both ends of cut gate?
I prefer starting at the Langsett end, although you have to add on for eg Derwent Edge and Gores Farm to make it worthwhile going further down the valley than slippery stones/the packhorse bridge
I started at Fairholmes (following the VGraphic guide). I really didnt enjoy riding along the res to get to the 'action' then on the return. Tedious.
There are reseviors at both ends of cut gate?
Errr, yes!
Langsett at the north end, Derwent at the South....
Any chance of having the video on Youtube or something as I can't get to see it on Vimeo - won't work on iPhone or work PC. 🙁
i reckon we wsill murder cut gate if a group as big as the last ride turn up and its remotely damp. might be best saved for later in the year?
the blacka etc route sounds interesting, not ridden there before.
ive got an idea for a route, just struggling to find a legal final descent...

How many people ride it on any average weekend? 🙄
Cut Gate is one of my fave rides, but I tend to steer clear when its been wet for weeks. whenever I do cut gate in the colder months of the year only ever see 2 or 3 groups at most, it will be cut up and boggy on the top sections whether we ride it or not, its just so much better in the dry, the drop down to North America is sublime when its had a few weeks to dry out
Pook - Looked like a fun day out, see what you mean about that snowdrift! No footage of a certain drop off? 😆
Just planning a route eith my local knowledge...
What drop off haddock? Your puncture one? Different route this time!
Anyone know what the deal is with the new restricted access on the bw that runs along the 625 just above blacka plantation?
I've got something in mind that links stanage, blacka, houndkirk and totley. That drop down stanage is key!
Anyone?
not ridden that BW since October, so can't help 🙁
"Cut gate- starting from the other side (not the res"

Thats what I was trying to say, questioning hora saying saying the non-resevior side
On re-reading what I wrote though (the question mark) it does read as if I didn't know there were
"That drop down stanage is key!"
the descent on the cobbles/pavement stone through the plantation is one of my favourites, trying not to veer off the stones can be a real challenge, especially nearer the bottom
In ST issue 55, I think Cy mentioned it was a bridleway in his bit of the route guide. Not sure though, a quick re-read may show I've misinterpretted something somewhere
so we're saving the White Peak for dryer, warmer weather then?
im so over stanage descent, distinctly 'tame' imo 8)
I was up there a few weeks back and it said permission has been pulled. Don't know why though
Pook. Stanage sounds good, climbed there but never rode it ( just like the rest of the dark peak!)
The Stanage route- its not similar to the VGraphics one is it? I rode the VGraphics route and 50% of it you might as well have brought a roadbike! Not good!!!
Well, spit it out Pook
Oops forgot smiley 🙂
It's a bit late but I'd just like to add my thanks for Chris's efforts in organizing Saturday's ride and his encouragement on the day. I had a great ride despite discovering on that final road section that I ridden most of the way with the rear suspension locked out 😳 .
Hang on Hora....it's coming.....
vids still [url=
by the way
😉
there is a lot round there but nothing I'd be happy to take more than 3 or 4 people on as its not totally legal, same with the stuff above grindleford
Yeah those are my thoughts exactly. Looking for links...
Actually podge, the only bit we're thinking is the pole to plantation descent. Road links are the issue
pole to plantation? not a chance, there isn't anything up there and to get to the pole you'll already have done a fair old set of tarmac links.
i have however found an epic bleak loop but you'd need gps for it
Give me some landmarks and I'll look at my map
emailed
Hora - are you still planning to ride Cavedale etc tomorrow morning?
Drop me an email if you don't mind me tagging along!
Sunday if you fancy it? I was going to pop along to HTN and heckle tomorrow am.
The weathers better on Sunday as well. Plus Pook and ourkidsam 'might' have some led left in their tank for sunday?
might. Might not too. Will most probably not have as Mrs Pook wants to go for a walk - so we may bump into you in the peak....
depends what happens Saturday night 8)
MrsPook is technically spending Sat with you..
ourkidsam- ger smashed. I normally do. Why do you think I visit the toilet soo much throughout a ride?
If someone puts a post up formally I'll be there. I'm not very good with organising things or being a leader etc. Just want to be part of the collective 8)
Or just on this thread?
Who is up for it? No one is leading- we just follow the route -11.00am start? Meet at 10.30am in the usual places. 11am start would help anyone who wants to enjoy their Sat night.
OK I'm busy with NATS on Sunday, so will probably ride locally tomorrow.
Have a fun weekend, folks!
hora, I'd happily come along and don't mind playing leader, but sadly I have a Christening to go to. Good to see you're trying to make the most of your pre-child free time. I'm constantly regretting not making the most of mine now I'm two kiddies down the line...not that I regret them of course 😯
hora, I'll mail you my mobile no. Drop me a text sunday morning and I'll decide then
Aye, make the most of it. I reckon I wont get any riding in for a few weekends after (not because I wont be allowed- but because I'll want to hang round the young fella) 😀
ourkidsam - cool.
not because I wont be allowed- but because I'll want to hang round the young fella
😆
You say that now
There was a 'doubt' in my mind as I was typing that 🙄
Actually meet at 10.15-10.30am in the Edale (FREE!) layby. There wont be many people. Probably just me!
ourkidsam- get all the riding that you can do now. March/April will be chucking it down. Its always windy/rainy then- the sort of weather I dont go out in.
you're just saying that to justify your nappy and puke duties
😉
Dove-tails nicely though doesn't it? I positively offer to be around TOO MUCH. Then as the weather perks up she'll be positively trying to keep me out of the house come the weekend 😀
to be fair to my missus I still got out regularly with the first one. She had the time, energy and enthusiasm to show him off to friends and family whilst I sneaked in a ride. When the second one arrived I [s]felt obliged[/s] wanted to be around more 😀
A few people have said that. One is manageable for periods of time with one set of hands. Two babies requires all hands to the pumps though...
We aren't having two.
We aren't having two.
the police are overstretched enough
😉
Don't think i'll be able to make this one due to friends birthday sat night. Think things will get messy ie beer, food, bed, puke!!
Would of been nice tho......
Am free on weekends 6/7 and 13/14 March. Then having operation on my hand on 20th so will be out for a few weeks then.
