Come on now, it's Friday evening... [imgOK, I'll start... Drove up the to peak district from Kent on Thursday morning, and rode cut gate from Langsett end that evening. [url[url[url[url[urlAs a peak first timer (I've done a few Welsh trail centres) that was a hell of an introduction to the Peak District! A double serving of tech, with a side of jank, smothered in big climbs and big descents! With tired legs, my 28 mile, nearly 4000ft of climbing planned route for today may have been a misjudgement, but what the hell - legs heal, right? First climb out from ladybower was a right bastard! [url[urlA stop in Castleton for some much needed sustenance before the big climb up to rushup edge/mam tor along the broken road [url[url[url[url[urlI made a shortcut and missed out the last but one big climb just south of Edale as I saw it and said to myself "f*** that!" and I'm glad I did, as the climb up to hope cross, then down the beast, and then the hike-a-bike out the other side finished me off completely. Did 26 miles and about 3700ft of climbing. I was planning on doing a short trail run up North America tomorrow morning before I leave but I don't think my legs will let me! The Jeffsy 29er has been absolutely brilliant, some stuff I've ridden I fully expected to be stopped and flung off, but it rolled over everything I put in it's path, it has not missed a beat. Glad I have my Hope V4's as they were getting a lot of use (both ends!) down the descents. The ticking of the floating rotors as they cool down at the end of a long downhill is a great sound.

Just back from a long weekend in Yorkshire, celebrating 30 years since the first meeting of Mrs Ready.
Couple of pics - 1 from a very pleasant Cinder track pootle, and the other from a good days riding at Dalby Forest.
