It's a very agressive and down right nasty 150mm travel hardtail. I will let you know if I can make it nearer the time. You will be fine with 150mm at the front...don't know if you have done The Beast and Spud Alley before...I think Spud Alley is harder because it gives you this false sense of security and you tend to go faster. So jealous I am! Have fun guys! |

4 quid? dont forget im a tight yorkshireman  yeah theres the station road, or hope primary school on eccles road in hope......its free. we could always pay a visit before or after the ride. if you're wanting 20-25 miles from hope gaz, it'd be good to start with the mam tor loop then head over to ladybower that would be about 20 miles. or instead include a cheeky derwent edge, that would make it nearer 25 miles. if we dont do either its probs about 15-18 miles..........its your ride mate, your choice. |

Sounds good like the sound of a cheeky derwent edge as well mate well did think the 4quid mite be a bit steep  And yep mam tor mate get it out of the way if we aim for 20/25 see how people feel ? If we go for hope primary school sounds good Eccles rd hope .. Will try and find a post code |

Last time I rode from Hope and did a similar route my mate did it on his 1989 Cannondale ridged with rim brakes and lived to tell the tale!!
Did shake him half to death though.
Sadistic bunch those retro bikers!
