NWA: Hayfield in the High Peak, Derbyshire ~ Saturday 26th March 2011 - AFTERMATH

A great day's riding had by all yesterday.

Sinnett steers his Ti-Mega down the first descent

mrlee test's the handling of his Altus A10 equipped Trek

Regrouping at the top of the second big climb, mrlee tweaks his brakes just a little

The second rock strewn and rut infested descent. A real test of bike handling, nerve and wrist strength.

HarryCrumb enjoys another long and loose descent

Steely determination for the last of four big climbs on the 16 mile route

Sizing up the moorland singletrack before the final excellent descent

mrlee sheepishly tries to conceal another mechanical

After 33 years, the Brooks finally breaks

I'll add some more words when I get a moment.

Another great ride out in Derbyshire, My wrists are still feeling it and I had RC35s up front.

A tough day in the saddle but really enjoyed it. Great to meet up with everyone and get my arms turned to jelly by the downhills. I was concerned by the amount of climbing on the route, but I should'nt have worried as the strong wind was the biggest test. Stiff legs today.
