PEAKS POOTLE: Saturday 25th February

Let’s have another video to rally the troops….

I like the video but can we change the music and the frame rate?

I might have ordered the bits for Caroline’s bike by then so expect a two pronged attack

I’m in!

Podge – you and Mrs Podge coming? Excellent. I’ll put on my drinking trousers.

I’m in too. Can offer lift from Sheffield

I reckon I actually might be able to make this one, though I’ll have to check with Mrs Monkey. Anyone coming from Hull way?

I can’t do that date but I am up for any sunday pootles, Marsdenmeanderthal man get the Marden meander sorted and we’ll come for that

I may well be able to get a pass off th emissus, just depends what the doctor says about riding, he may put some unreasnoble restriction on me like “no crashing”.

We’ll see.

Anyone else doing up for a car park bivi beforehand? I’ll bring the bacon and eggs.

Looks like I’m allowed, and can have the car. Woo yeah!

depends on the size of the group and the route as to whether Mrs Podge comes, she’s still in one hill winter mode and doesn’t like large sausage fest groups… so drinking trousers may not be required, your cricket box is another matter though as I believe you are due a hoof in the pods

I am definetly maybee for this one as it is a kids free weekend – depends where as many places in the peak take as long to reach as the lakes and a mate is threatening a lakeland winter ride

Im in

I might come along. I’ll probably ride over from the Manchester side of things if anyone fancies a warm-up.

I’ll be there 😀 and i will bring along a big bag of “Radical gnarness” for the next video 😯

of “Radical gnarness” for the next video

Gurning.

I’m in but in no way will I ever ride Pindale again! 😆

I’m in but in no way will I ever ride Pindale again!

Because we hid your bike or because you can’t ride down a straight farm track with a few stones on it?

Because its supa-GNAR 😆

Wait… Stones? There are STONES in the Peak? I thought we were just going to be flumping down a gently packed bed of fluffy kittens?

You’ll never ride pindale however you insist on riding cavedale whenever possible!

I don’t know where to go yet.

I thought we were just going to be flumping down a gently packed bed of fluffy kittens?

I rather like Fluffy Kittens (nee. The Beast). I wouldn’t describe my technique in getting down it as ‘flumping’ though, it’s distinctly more rattly than that.

Heheh, my post may have been a masked reference to the KittenBeast

I agree with Hora, can we do Cavedale?

Given the argument for the September one I was expecting full on RAD-ness from Pindale, but then again I was on the Pitch which makes everything easy.

Plus Pindale- how many people had pinchflats on there? It was like the Charge of the Light Brigade, finding yourself alone amongst the Russian guns 😯

Haha! We went down like flies!

Hmmm, as long as I don’t break myself again before this I should be up for it.

lockerbrooks my highlight at the mo

Ooh Cavedale, I’ve been down that (well the bottom half) with it covered in ice. Mince-core lite was the approach then. A little better and I might get to jey-core!!

“Anyone else doing up for a car park bivi beforehand? I’ll bring the bacon and eggs.”

Ooo ello 8)

Last time I did Cavedale I cleared it. First time in many a year, but I was a happy happy man!

I normally dab two or three times.

It is fun though.

It’s certainly interesting on ice

Still up for this at the moment! 🙂

I’ve only ever done Cavedale once, on my first ever trip to the Peak after having only ever ridden trailcentres. Scared me a bit!

Bump this back up.

Almost certainly on this now 🙂 First MTB ride of the year so I suspect i’ll bail a few times 😆

Yep, its an in for me.

Ah, i remember Cavedale in the ice…..no rocks, just sheet ice!!

I’m out, doc’s put the unreasnoble caveat on my riding of “no crashing” untill the end of Fenuary at the earliest :'(

@TINAS – 25th of Feb IS nearly the end of Feb?

Is there a station anywhere near?

And mre to the point what are they like with you taking bikes on the train? 😀

Station in Edale, IF that’s where it’s starting
