Email me if you want I can send you a few routes ive done over the years as pdf’s second the stuff around bakewell and the latest wmb as much as I hate the mag it’s a decent guide to the area, depending which wY your coming though it may be just as quick to head via Chesterfield or sheff to the hope valley?

I’m in derby don’t know sneaky trails around matlock and ambergate Crich area that well other than shining cliffs but happy to show you round a decent evening jaunt along the lines of that ride linked above, with extension down to the little downhill area at drum hill and back if you want, canmake as short or Lon g as needs be really

I’d wait and save up for a 2012 meta 6 replacement, it’s gonna be good 😉

Yep memory map on iPhone is great, but then I already had it along with all the uk maps on my PC so for a one off extra £20 just upload them as i need for instant offline mapping
I have 1:25k peak district and find it fine on the iPhone screen but generally 1:50k is ok
It has totally changed things for me now when walking or on bike I don’t need to take a paper map just the phone

Hic!

Wasnt funny in the slightest, soon as he fell I instinctively looked away, having seen to many people die on racetracks both on tv and 10 foot in front of me I dint want to see someone die on live tv ever again
What they whereplaying at is beyond me absolute chaos although very difficult circumstances on a fast bend

Probably cycling across the golden gate bridge early one morning in 1997 knowing marin county was ahead of me, then on same ride coming out of trees (muirwoods) to see a beach and the ocean ahead and going over the bars into the surf then returning to san fransisco with the sunset having been out around 12 hours

I hope though that in the next two years those memories will be surpassed by images similar to SbZ’s pictures, awesome mate sums up what biking means to me now, passing the experiences on to my next generation (it’s already started when I turned round the other day and caught 1 year old Isabel giggling and clapping away in the trailer)

Isn’t mountain biking the best

juvenile and pointless
Just ignore him
Will soon get bored

Watch the penny’s and the pounds look after themselves

If your happy to post overseas there is still an eBay Market I got between £1,50 and £10 when I sold about 30 games a couenof months ago

Osmaston park over a52 bridleways towards belper, just look at map and pick out a route
Some decent riding around Alton which isn’t too far away or head out on Tissington trail and branch off to return on bridleways
Pretty sure someone else aske same question on here about 8 months ago so may e do a forum search

Who’s the girl behind him? She looks like enjoyable company.

Not any more unless you like hanging out with a corpse in a wheely bin

my adopted uncle used to ride road bikes all the time and he was a rapist.

Classic Line of the day

Yeah good for the money
I use the wheel bags all the time to take into hotels when working away (frame locked on car boot), keep back of car clean or stand on when getting changed in car park etc

Muffin I think you missed the point
I’m like you, there was nothing new i could remember pretty much every race and name most pf the drivers seen in the briefings thought but it was a beautifully put together history and tribute to one Of the greatest drivers ever
And it revealed to me a far more human side to him, yes I knew he was deeply religious, I knew he could be very emotional I knew the level of support he had in brazil and I remember the picyures of his funeral possession but the film really wrapped all that up and presented it in a really good way I thought

Saw it in derby (quad) on Saturday afternoon
Excellent film the first race shown at Monaco was the first grand prix I can remember watching on tv as a kid
I honestly felt a cold chill all over during the crash footage, some not nice footage of ratzenburger too and seeing Martin donnellys crash again was chilling too
Not all bad though some really nice home movie footage, the Prost senna stuff is a bit overplayed but interesting
Made me think alot too, the political bollox is still the same in f1 as it was back then, same with the rule changes not always for the best and like that year we are this year seeing some big crashes following some fairly big rule changes
Oh and it also highlighted to me at least just how many
senna-isms there is to be seen these days in Vettell

I bent my front 355 on only it’s second ride, admittedly it was one of worst crashes I’ve had and wheel went side on to a tree trunk
The rear has lasted a year no problem
I need to rebuild it but would like to try and reuse some of the spokes (I have a load of spare too) which stand rim is it that has the same spoke length? (sorry for thread highjack)

I can’t believe I just watched a video about slug sex, I only came here to see if anyone was selling a cyclocross bike!!

Echo what bri-72 said
Fitted my fender bender looked great put bike in car got bike out fender bender creased and looked naff
Neoguard is fit and forget fender needs straightening all the time, both work the same though so depends which you prefer the look of to be honest
To be honest though the fender bender is just an ice cream tub lid and the neoguard is just an old innertube so save your money and make your own, when either is covered in mud it won’t matter what it looks like
I now use the f-b on rear to protect the shock on my meta, a job it does superbly, with the neoguard on the front, but as I said make your own

Wasn’t £450 off eBay was it?
If so gggrrrrr you outbid me!
Yes you did right thing it was a tidy looking bike

i got one of ebay
the seller still has some left – hyper2.5, splitbacks etc, send me an email and Ill forward his details

Yawn

Was it cause he is black? (I have no idea if he is or not but had to get a Hamilton reference in somehow)

Shining cliff woods might work
POSTED 56 MINUTES AGO #

No it wouldn’t
Riding there is troublesome enough without people rigging cables around the really old and really quite protected trees within a SSSI
Sorry to sound like some sort of tree hugger but it’s sensitive enough up there all ready

Awesome vid and nice effort on rigging that up makes me want to ride it in the dry too, never realised it wasn’t a proper stream!
Next one how about the campsite descent into hayfield, or wharnecliffe?

Yes definitely best mid week well signed but when you cross the railway and road mke sure you turn right past the pumping station building don’t carry on up the fireroad

They not Spanish they scouse
Mascarano taught them that trick

A big 970ml bottle of ‘quilmes’ from Argentina (via tesco)
Very nice it is too, bit heavy to start with but getting lighter 🙂

If your asking those sort of questions maybe you should be asking will YOU cope without your 140mm of skills compensator?

Good spot, definitely hope that

Currently watching F1 with my one year old daughter making car rasping noises and giggling sat next too me
She may have been up all night with and left me feeling knackered and with a banging headache but moments like this more than male up for it

Or steve you can do SaL onto the blue then back up the way you describe to rejoin red again at spooky descent

It would almost be easier and cheaper for you to just give your bearings away for free Kael 😉

I hate ebay too – been looking for a FS frame recently, frikkin search results are full of bearing kits FFS.

🙂 🙂

Quirrel
I know where secrets and lies is 😉 and it’s ace, can get muddy though
Search vimeo for a video called ‘glentress trailfairy trails’ by MorayCuthill

Inners xc is definitely worth a visit too
Second jedis comment about riding with the locals 😉

Strider looks good but roadtracks link says it is suitable upto 5 yrs
Apart from wanting mine on a proper bike before that age I would at least want a brake on it
The islabikes (and ridgebacks I think) have a brake that cn be disconnected when they first start out do they not?
Plus they seem to hold value reasonably well when you come to sell it on
Cheapest I’ve seen the scoot £71
http://www.bikes2udirect.com/B3313.html?mv_pc=gp1

That sign was there at least 5 weeks ago when I last did the descent
Nbt I thought one bit wa in this part ?

Nope still on 14p a mile 🙁

I would say a medium too, where abouts are you?
Pop over to http://www.commencalownersclub.com maybe someone inyour area with one you could try

Scottidog is right I think but I think the vid is edited out of sequence and parts may also be the other bridleway decent from highgate that joins the same track past the campsite?
