Managed to complete the BHF Ultimate Peak ride on Saturday. Weather was not what it was like 7 days before! Rain, mud, wind. Did some video so you get the effect……

Dark Peak Challenge

Ahhhh – the memories……

I saw quite a few of the BHF challengers when I was out on Sunday, most seemed to be having fun despite the weather. Nice little vid that, cheers.

Nice video that, thanks. What package did you edit it on? I like the animated transitions.

What package did you edit it on?

Used iMovie on the Mac, which has some nice features, to edit the video.

Cheers

really enjoyed the vid, I did it last year and its a tuff 40+ miles

well done

nice vid, thanks. It was cold & muddy, but very enjoyable.
Didn’t bother taking my gopro out on the ride in the end as I thought it was going to be too muddy and wet 🙁
It’s all boring and dry back down here in the south east 😉

Looks like a sweet long ride taking in a lot of the best bits of the dark peak. I was out that day (not on this ride though) and I can vouch for the utterly miserable weather.

Did the Extreme route, wet wasn’t it 🙂 and I’d forgotten about that Peak grinding paste 🙁

Just finished fixing the bike, new jockey wheels, pads and rear mech cable.

Also fitted one of those K-Edge anti chain suck devices, wonder if it will help?

APF

Will turn out expensive – fitted XTR on the yeti and watched it slowly get ground to nothing. 4 brake pads – gone. Have a winterized bike but took the light one for the hills and swapped the wheels to pro2’s with nobbynics for grip. Reminded me of a bad day out in wet Afan where the drivechain ends up as a very effective metal grinder!

oh yeah the grinding & chain suck, that really… sucked 🙂
no great damage done here, but then I didn’t brake on the descents 😉

I also done it last year, and boy am i glad i used my Hard tail and not my Yeti that i have now, the peaks can ruin a good bike in a single day out! am feeling for you dadster21 i really am!

I did the extreme route this year and last, although I have cleaned my bike thoroughly I can still hear some grinding of the debris from last Saturday….nightmare! But very good fun, nice video by the way….
