tell you what jack, you didnt miss anything today. i was completely underwhelmed by this route. all the best bits were around hollinsclough, but even they wernt good enough as the boring bits completely outweighed any good bits. too much tarmac,too much climbing for hardly any good rewards. the ride never seemed to get going. iv ridden round here twice now, first time was a completely different route but i came away on both occasions thinking " nice scenery, crap mountain biking".

Good stuff G. Even the less technical trails seem to come alive in the dark. its a good idea to conserve your battery. turn it down to a lower setting when you're on the easier parts of the ride. i also take spare batteries, but never needed them yet

jack im just looking what route we'll be doing. but if you're still up for it we'll meet in the market place carpark centre of longnor SK1 70NT. 10.00. then drive on to where we'll park up. as i say iv done some of the route but not familiar with other bits so its quite experimental. supposed to be really good round hollinsclough www.youtube.com/results?search_query=hollinsclough+descents

iv ridden the white peaks plenty of times neil, just not around hollinclough much. it actually has some good winter routes there, but alot of them have been immensely tamed by our 'friends' (not) derbyshire council. it used to be excellent

just to add , im now also thinking of doing a part of the white peak that im not familiar with.its a ride from hollinsclough and could include a part of the cat and fiddle loop, but theres supposed to be nice rocky droppy stuff around hollinsclough. i'd be following a gpx route so its like im leading myself on a route that i dont know?

the hans dampf from the front has been replaced by the hi roller.the the hans dampf on the back is going to be replaced by the hans dampf from the front. after putting the tube in today on the back i honestly couldnt tell the difference from riding it tubeless.

its a wicked ride!? sorry about your punctures. bad luck that, specially with Snakeskin walls as well. to be fair the punctured tyre wasnt the snakeskin. that'll be going on soon. but the tubeless solution just didnt do the job. ah well at least i;ll be using my tyre inflator ............again!
