[Closed] PEAKS POOTLE: Saturday 25th February

I may be possibly free that day, mmmmmmm

Dammit. I am getting my hair done and trying on dresses that day.

for the record, Jamie IS NOT Mrs pook

Thank god you cleared that up, Pook.

8)

On it.

Have you room for a peaks virgin?

Will it be infested with radness?

I'll see if my LBS has some 'Freeride' trail packs

always. The focus is on the social side of riding too, it's all about the people and banter. These rides are little tasters of the peak - you're more than welcome!

I'm in. Every pootle is Tom, especially if Hora's riding. His bike would suggest radness, but his riding perhaps not.

tom's scared of radness

Very interesting. Might make the trip up 🙂

Cheers Pook, i'll commence operation loving boyfriend and father so i'll have sufficient brownie points for a day pass.

ooo might be up for this depending on location 😀

Doh! In the Lakes that weekend. 🙁

I'll be there, looking forward to it.

Location would be good. I'll ask if anyone this end wants to share petrol costs.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh!
Is all I've got to say on the matter.
Yes, that's one of the two Saturdays in Feb that I've got a prior engagement.....

Gonna have to sort a Marsden Meander if i'm to catch up with any of you lot.....

Have fun folks 🙂

I'd make an educated guess and say location will be Ladybower!

Could be, although we've had lots of those lately... Too many options, ah well.

Well that neck of the woods then I'd guess

I'm going to take a risk and say Macc forest, but maybe Goyt Valley or Hayfield?

Clue's in the title really 😉

Normally Castleton, Edale, Ladybower or thereabouts.

Dark Peak though - can't be doing with White Peak limestone in the wet!

Ace, I think I can make this one. I shall open negotiations for a pass forthwith.

I'll be there 😛

Putting a note in the diary.

Could I be very cheeky and ask for a lift if you've got space Mr Jones? 😛

No problem Sambob,as long as we'll be out Hayfield way, or if it means I have to come through Whalley 😉

Think it'll be Castleton/ Edale/ Ladybower if that works?

Stop speculating on the route! You'll give people ideas....

😉

This might be a possible for me as its a Saturday. 8)

if a 1st timer can come, and i can get a pass 😉

i'm on it like a tramp on chips!

Nah rob, you're not allowed. ;o)

Nah rob, you're not allowed. ;o)

Anyone got a space In a car from manc?(for a gate) This carless malarky is getting to be a pain.

I'm in. Even after the last one.

Pook, i'm coming anyway 😀

Me, I'll come 😀

I'll hopefully be coming too.

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

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 [url= http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/whats-this-ladybower-area-trail-like-now-after-logging-tractor-damage#post-2985581 ]Fluffy Kittens (nee. The Beast)[/url]. 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
