Top top day, great atmosphere amongst the riders. Pleasure to meet Gaz, really helped knowing what was coming up round the next bend. Think spud alley was amazing.
Lad who's leg was broke was an ex para, hard as nails, daft as a brush.

I saw you lot Macky, stopped on the bridge near the reservoir. Think I ended up finishing the final climb with a few of you too.
I was the lad with the white and orange el guapo.

Nice one Jonny, It was a good day and first time in the peaks for a few of the riders, but they all want to go back again, they loved it.

Just a few pics from yesterday's ride sorry about the quality ..  Drive down to Castleton .. Waiting for the start   Climbing up the Broken road .  Jonny looking cool met up with one of the mtbe , riders soon told him about our little freindly forum   Well made it to the top again but forgot my bike ...  Spud alley looking a bit wet  This lad had a bit of a nasty of , his leg looked a bit of a mess, but fair play to him he carried on.. Hard bugger , I would of been rolling round blarting...  Climb up the slippy stones or should that be push..  Oh how I hated this climb .. It just dragged on ..  The old clown bike did me proud ..  You don't realise how far you ride out ..  The last bit old roman road drop down to the finish .. Last pic sorry for boring ya all  ok one more  |
