and I've still got my heater and extension cable

There is another option. It may seem a bit crazy but here I go anyway. We could all meet up in a well publicised area, then ride to the nearest pub, eat and drink and talk about bikes and stuff. Then we pretend we've been out riding.

like your thinking that man

I'm not looking at alcohol ever again.

On completely the other end of the scale, I've heard that there's this stuff which you can drop from planes that warms the ground up. I assume it would melt the snow ultra fast enabling us to ride on dry dusty trails. I think it's called napalm? Surely that must be of use to us in some way.

I think a plastic sheet in the camelbak to sledge down the hills will be a genius option looking at those pics. 😀

just checked my bike over and the front brake still works even after my ham fisted bleeding of it so it looks like i'm all set to go.

might end up getting the train over as i'm still without a car.

Can we get a roll call of bikes that are going to be ridden pushed on Saturday?

I'll start, Pitch Pro.

Robdob – Pitch Pro
Will – SS Tricross

Robdob – Pitch Pro
Will – SS Tricross
Podge – Specialized Rockhopper (black)

None of this neiche stuff 😆

Even if we walk it- **** it.

Wasn't that what we were planning to do anyway?? 😉

They look pink to me.

stilltortoise – Whyte 46, or Bianchi fully rigid if we 😀 really are walking

These would be lighter and better for deep snow!!! 😀

Trusty bog standard rockhopper, green!

Dan

some kinda rockhopper meet up?

I acn confirm that big bags are brillaint for sledging.

'For sale' signs are also good if I remember my youth rightly!

Big orange survival bag at the ready, but if the ride is viable, I could bring along the Maxlight XC. Snow is all gone here in Doncaster, it took some heavy rain to clear it. Where does the snow start at? Looking at the Outside shop webcam, Hathersage/Stanage seem fairly clear.

Ohh very tempting…………….

Havent got any off road disco slippers though 🙁 been using my roadie shoes for the last few months, no need for anything more round here as there are no slippery rocks!

I am a sensible sort of chap; Intense 6.6 unless I get the hanger for the rocky ridge.

Blur 4x is staying dry until Spring- its the 456 on its third outing 8)

can suggest cannock, not as far as wales and still fairly close for most people 🙂

Cannock? Are you kidding me? That's chuffin LIGHT YEARS away from me (and hora I assume as I think he lurks round my area).

It's also crap unless you do 3 laps at speed.

Think we should stick to dark peak and ride/walk a route.

KTM 250 scrambler

i will be pushing a Kracken after i`ve come off it quite a few times.

IF i come.

Scott scale

its my birthday on 23rd!

i'd go to Cannock if I'm on a promise. Anyone has a nice sister? Otherwise…no!

Matthew H – White Santa Cruz Nomad with red wheels

Right i am going to try and make this by driving back from liverpool on friday, ride in the morning and head back to liverpool sat night and back to sheff on sunday lets hope the snake is open by then! , if i do i'll be on either a grey 5spot or white genesis alptitude both of which are bound to suffer mechanicals at some point.

ourkidsam – 456 in THAT blue

I can also confirm Pook's chain ring bolts are definitely pink.

So the plan still is the route at a push 😉

It'll be laugh I reckon. May recce later in the week though.

and yes, I am a bishop my son.

AND MY RING BOLTS ARE RED.

i know not for this one, but how long do you think it will be untill cut gate is rideable? i really enjoyed tht path when i rode it in 2008, so we should plan that for another one?
