Riding out of Langsett precisely here, and I ride up past these two blokes. After I was past, one mutters to his friend,
“yeah there’s no cycling signs everywhere. It causes erosion doesn’t it?”
I stopped and told him that actually, it’s a bridleway all the way to Ladybower.
“Well there’s a no cycling sign down there” talking about in the woods round the resevoir. When i explained to him there were permissive bridleways through the woods he told me I was “talking crap”, and took his phone out to check the map.
Anyway, we carried on up the hill, then took great pleasure in having a rest by the bridleway sign at the t-junction. He didn’t make eye contact.
Tool.
Cracking ride nonetheless – loads of riders out on Cut Gate today. Hope you all had as much fun as we did despite the plank walking.
