Re:
PEAK DISTRICT
WHAT better way to get back into cycling off-road than tackling the peak district?.....anyhow it was a good day all in and it was pleasing to see 26 of us turn up.
Such inviting drizzle.
The morning' weather would put anybody off as it was a little chilly too, i've known dry and 20+degrees celcius before today, same time of year. But, you can't do much about those things, just carry on and enjoy it.
I didn't get chance to speak to everyone, so have a retrospective high '5' from me for being with us!
Me? i had to bail out just afoot of mam tor, big hill thingy as my legs just wouldn't drain of lactic acid and i felt rough, almost as though there was a permanent head wind. Basically i'm out of condition and have nerve issues in my neck giving for poor performance. I can only get better so i will be back!!
The fella on the muddy fox. nice old bike mate. sheer torque pulled the rear wheel forward in the dropout. this was easily sorted.
Yeah, shame on him for holding us up! MY bike was in perfect fettle and had the correct bolts for all components, please guys, agree with me......
Mob rule.
THE radio mast, yes that one, was approached at a different angle this year, some cracking singletrack.
Drystonepaul and longun, they know their peaks!
Author's ride of the...half ride...marin travel well beyond california.
Moorland travellers, if you spot yourself let me know.
Let's dance.
More pics....
The best race face i've ever seen, good on you!
This was slmracing's post crash aftermath, sheep poo, rain and moss equals ice rink!
I did like this marin, when you know how old some bikes are, it's even more amazing.
On the day there was a good variety of bike from, saracen, orange, marin, cannondale, ibis, kona, diamond back, muddy fox. who could argue mtb'ing isn't universal and inclusive.
Again thanks to all that could attend, DSP for the overall organisation and various gate holders and people on way marking duties. See you all again soon bruvvers!
I popped into the adventure cafe and got a bacon, brie + caramelised onion, slice of quiche and a chocky flapjack whilst waiting for you guys to return. Food i badly needed and passed even more time by removing 6 links for my chain. Colin (guy nr manc airport) spotted it..my goodness i have sharpen up the whole bike building thing...
cheers!
