Would have loved to Glynn but riding Ambleside on the 16th and my knees aren't up to two tough rides back to back, the 22nd I'm off to the races.
Still mega keen to do cutgate so if you do a ride, do me a favour and do the other and save cutgate for mid to end August when it's cue and dry, selfish I know.

I'd love to do any of them but can on those dates...I think we should organise one of these epics on a weekend so the turnout is epic as well!

Sounds good to me gives me another 4 5 weeks to recover ok as long as WE (wife) has nothing else planned, that should be a go'er. if theres enough interest i'll post it up a bit nearer the time.

You got a rough idea of distance and climbing for the two? ( so I can work out which if any of my friends would be able to manage it)

both around 20 miles and 2500ft. but both could be extended by as much as anyone wants as theres no definative route for either. jacobs ladder can be extended at the castleton/edale end and hayfield end. cutgate can be extended at the ladybower end.

We did a 50 mile ride in that area a few year ago and it was the best day I have ever had on a mountain bike
