most people, in my opinion, cant transfer straight from flats to spd so why not have both? in my opinion i prefer both even though i'm so used to riding clipped in when i'm unclipped feels wrong, in my opinion.

Hmm maybe, though not having that safety net will make you learn much quicker ..

Haha. I give up

£27- Bargain. Im popping down to buy some. Maybe will never need them but as backups you cant ignore that. Thanks for the heads up.

RIGHT NOW ALL THAT'S CLEARED UP LET'S GET BACK TO THE RIDE SHALL WE??

Ive got some shimano M324 spd/flat pedals you can have if you are unsure about clipless ones.
SPD one side flat, pedal on the otherside
They are like new.
let me know and i can bring them along to the next outing.

Remember when planning this route we need to have access for Skiprat to follow in the support van with your large screwdriver.

Do you honestly think that thing will fit in my van????? Will need to leave the back door open and put a flag on the end!!! 😉

oi – leave my oversized bulbous shiny red thing out of this. 😯

😆

Is this going from Edale carpark? Just incase i do pop out to see you all.

Might get our lass to drive and then pop into 18 Bikes to do some shopping!!

it will be. Come for the post ride pint Mr M….

Has anyone mentioned a start time, can we do it in the morning so those of us dragging SO's behind us can get some afternoon delight in at the hotel afterwards?

10am.

sweet 😀

can't wait 🙂 just so I know (never been on one of these rides before)…what's your idea of a pootle? (not been on a bike for a couple of weeks..and got at least a week 'til I'm back so I might be a bit out of practise!

erm, average speed of about 6 mph. With cake. And falling off. And looking at nice views.

I like these rides to be inclusive. No racing off and that kind of thing

awesome, sounds good to me 🙂

how much skiprats bro? might possibly be interested, ive got some m424's coming tomorrow, but they might be very useful at some point, as most thing are 😉 got some scott comp shoes today and free cleats 😀 im almost set for my first venture into spds 😀

No racing off and that kind of thing

But anyone who wants to let rip and disapear down any downy bits are most welcome! Just have some cake ready at the bottom for the rest 😀

+1 I'll be tagging along if you don't mind, folks!
I'm a genuine 'new to the area' so am looking forward to sampling the delights of the trails and post ride burgers!

DenDennis anyone is welcome. Its an anti-clique IMO, join in, drop out and rejoin whenever at any date in the future. You don't have to say 'sorry I cant make it'- if you can great. If not- theres always the future.

Hello Peaks folks – am planning on coming down to Sheffield for Easter weekend and riding Jacobs ladder (from Edale, to Mam Tor & Castleton) o Friday, followed by Cut Gate & various possible Ladybower loop extensions on Saturday. I will post something up separately in the next day or two but thought I'd post it where your attention is first.

If anyone fancies any of that let me know. Cheers.

sweeeet. cheers 😀

Remember the last Pootle? My Pike forks were 'wierd'? Just back – Hydraulocked and had the rebound cart replaced.

6 mph? That's optimistic innit?!

Put my name down, yo

anyone travelling from Hebden/Halifax-looking to share lift for petrol or burger/beer money

woohoo – it's shaping up!

Sambob
you can have the pedals for nothing.
I`ll bring them along and if you want them take them.

10 am set off ? or meet ?

hora, wtf is Hydraulocked?

Do you mean hydrolocked?

I'm going to come on this if that's ok.

Skiprats bro – i cant just take them off you. i would buy you a couple of beers, but obviously i cant, so you can have the money for 2 🙂 m424's came today, but i only get them on sunday coz its my birthday then 😀

Sniff, I am shocked by your grammar quite frankly.
